at: We use "arrive at" for specific locations and buildings, not "arrive to" (a common translation mix-up for Romance language speakers).

on: Days of the week always take the preposition "on", never "in".

to: When transferring an object to a recipient, we use "give [something] to [someone]", not "for".

for: To express a duration or length of time (three weeks), we use "for". "Since" is only used for a specific starting point in time (e.g., "since last Tuesday").
