Advice needed

Ex Language Powerbook:

Circle the word/words that go with the verbs.

ARRIVE early/late, to school, your house.
Of course both of them go. But my question is why they put preposition "to".
In my opinion it should rather be "arrive early/late at school", as "arrive"
goes either with "in" or "at". I've never heard "arrive to". The same
question with the next sentence. "Arrive at your house".

TURN a corner, a question, a game.
"Turn a corner" goes for sure. And what about the remaining two words?

Thx

      Arrive “to school” is very common and correct. Just like "I arrive to work".
      It wouldn’t work with “your house” however.

        Hi Froggy....
        Why do you think that it will not work with "your house" ?
        I arrived early to your house but nobody was there.
        What is wrong with this sentenc?
        See ya:)

          I guess it works.
          "At your house" just sounds better to me.

            strange - never heard of - arrive at home. usualy they use - arrive home at
            5pm , for e. or other one ' I've never been TO Warsaw. it is not about to make
            any sense - it just work this way.
