(i) I am a regular customer here.
The given sentence is correct.
(ii) They have arrived yesterday. (Given)
They had arrived yesterday. (Correct)
- It is revealing an action of the past.
- So, past perfect tense should be used.
- The structure of past perfect tense is: Subject + had + past participle form of the verb.
- So, have arrived should be replaced with had arrived.
(iii) We went to meet my friend's cousin brother. (Given)
We went to meet my friend's cousin. (Correct)
- It is a very common error in grammar.
- The term 'cousin' itself means that the person is your relative's son or daughter.
- So, cousin brother or cousin sister are inappropriate terms.
