In a sentence

えきstationついた着いたarrived

I arrived at the station

How it works

Plain and quick: there's no spoken subject — context tells you who arrived. (to) marks えき (station) as the destination reached, and the verb 着くつく (arrive) shifts to casual past 着いたついた (arrived). The final (you know) adds a little nudge, like telling someone news they were waiting for.
