Here we go: the shape arrived is the participle of the verb to arrive, while I arrive is the verb form of the verb to arrive conjugated in the 1st person singular of the present tense. I.e, I arrive cannot be used as a nominal form of the verb to arrive, only arrived adequately fulfill this role.

The participle allows the formation of compound verb tenses and conveys the notion of the conclusion of the verbal action, that is, the state of the action after it is finished. Because it is not an abundant verb, that is, because it does not admit two equivalent forms of the participle, the verb to arrive accepts only the regular participle

arrived. Examples:

I had arrived recently in town when I met my wife.
(Wrong: I had just arrived in the city when I met my wife.)

the tourist had arrived I've been in town for a week.
(Wrong: The tourist had arrived in the city a week ago.)

I have arrived very late at home.
(Wrong: I've been coming home too late.)

I would have arrived faster, but there was a traffic jam on the way.
(Wrong: I would have gotten there faster, but there was a traffic jam on the way.)

now the shape I arrive, in the present tense, indicates an action that takes place at the exact moment the action is narrated. Note the conjugation of the verb to arrive:

Verb to arrive – Present tense:

(I arrive
(you) arrive

Example:
