nota: 'In' s'usa davant de topònims i quan es vol destacar la idea d'interioritat, 'on' s'utilitza quan es parla d'un espai més aviat obert o quan és sinònim de sobre i 'at' s'empra quan la referència és merament a un punt local. Esmentem també les locucions següents: a casa > at home; a classe > in class; a taula > at the table; a mercat > in / at the market; a missa > at Mass.

nota: 'A' es tradueix per 'at' davant expressions d'hores, per 'on' davant expressions de dies i per 'in' davant expressions de períodes. Excepció: El gir 'arribar a + punt en el temps' es tradueix en anglès per 'get to + punt en el temps'.

nota: Cal tenir en compte que, excepcionalment, la preposició catalana 'a' va o pot anar davant el complement directe; recordem que en anglès això no s'esdevé mai i, per tant, en aquests casos, aquesta preposició no s'ha de traduir.
5. [després dels verbs comprar i robar] from
Vam comprar el cotxe al concessionari del pare d'en Tomàs. - We bought our car from Tomas's father's car dealership.

Penses assistir al sopar de comiat d'en Pere? - Are you planning to attend Pere's farewell dinner?

nota: La preposició pot ser traduïda en anglès per preposicions diverses. A més, si el verb català es tradueix en anglès per un verb transitiu, la 'a', òbviament, no es tradueix.
8. [després dels verbs atrevir-se, decidir-se i negar-se] to
No s'atreveixen a presentar-se. - They don't dare to show up / they dare not show up.
S'han decidit a comprar el terreny. - They've decided to buy the lot.
Es nega a ajudar-nos. - He refuses to help us.
nota: Els complements d'aquests verbs solen ser infinitius. Aquests verbs es tradueixen en anglès per verbs transitius que regeixen com a complement verbal l'infinitiu 'to'.

Això no té res a veure amb el que deia. - This doesn't have anything to do with what he was saying.

arribada
n
(f) arrival
arribar
v conj
1. to arrive
nota: En algunes modalitats angleses, com ara la nord-americana, el verb arribar només sol traduir-se per arrive quan l'arribada és programada, com en el cas de transport públic, o bé si es tracta de l'arribada de persones d'importància que tenen el temps programat (p.e., el president del govern). En altres casos, quan 'arribar' vol dir 'anar a un lloc o venir d'un lloc', es tradueix en anglès de la manera següent: get here (arribar aquí), get there (arribar allà), get home (arribar a casa), get to + lloc (arribar a un lloc). Encara que aquestes construccions no són generalment imprescindibles —és a dir, l'ús del verb arrive no seria incorrecte—, val la pena familiaritzar-s'hi.
2. to get (somewhere)
No vaig arribar a casa fins a les quatre de la matinada. - I didn't get home until four in the morning.
Sempre arriba tard a la feina. - She always gets to work late.
3. to reach
L'escala no arriba fins a la teulada. - The ladder doesn't reach up to the roof.
Em pots baixar aquest pot de mel? No hi arribo. - Can you get down that jar of honey for me? I can't reach it.
