Writing Challenge, Day 188

Today is day 188 of my daily English writing challenge. This evening, my mother came back home from Algiers because she had an appointment with her doctor there.

Can I do say: This evening, my mother just has arrived from Algiers. ( The action is new.)

If I understand in first sentence I did not need to put a preposition " at".

Writing Challenge, Day 188

Today is day 188 of my daily English writing challenge.

This evening, my mother came back home from Algiers because she had an appointment with her doctor there.

Can I do say: This evening, msay this: My mother has just has arrived from Algiers.

"has just arrived" is the usual order of words we use but, yes, you can say this.

or,

My mother has just arrived from Algiers tonight.
My mother has just arrived from Algiers this evening.

( The action is new. )

We don't use spaces with parentheses.

If I understand inthe first sentence correctly, I did not need to put ause the preposition " at"."

Correct. "came back home" indicates motion so we never use "at" here. "at" implies staying still.

Very good work!
