英语专有名词如城市名必须首字母大写；汉语没有大写规则，学习者常忽略。修正后给“Minneapolis”正确的大写首字母。
I arrived to Minneapolis at noon.I arrived in Minneapolis at noon.
表示到达城市、国家等较大地点时，英语固定用“arrive in”，不用“arrive to”。这是受汉语“到达”直接对应“to”的迁移影响。
The Minneapolis is a city in Minnesota.Minneapolis is a city in Minnesota.
城市名称是专有名词，前面通常不加定冠词 the；汉语没有冠词，学习者容易过度添加。去掉 the 后句子才自然。
