at this time they vs reached at the place it was

These two phrases are not directly comparable as they are quite different in structure and meaning. 'At this time they' seems to be an incomplete phrase, while 'reached at the place it was' is grammatically incorrect. It would be more helpful to provide additional context or clarify the intended meaning to offer a more accurate analysis.

  • got to the place it was
  • reached their destination
