Is “arrive” or “arrival” right?
According to the cultured norm, the regular participles they are used after the verbs “to have” or “haver”, such as “to have arrived” or “to have arrived”. already the irregular are used in the passive voice, after verbs such as “to be”, “to be”, “to stay”, among others. Thus, the word “arrived” is a regular participle (the one ending in “-ado” or “-ido”). The word “arrival”, at first, may seem to be an irregular participle.

colloquial language. So, the use of "had arrived" is considered inappropriate in a formal context, that is, what is right is “arrived”.
