@creamyyelmo OK! Thank you.
A : get to the new office on time?
B : arrive there on time thanks to the map you gave me.
In a casual conversation, is this also ok?
I want to say about the past things.
I'm asking because in the casual situation I can skip head of the sentence like
A : (Were you able to) get to the new office on time?
B : (I could) arrive there on time thanks to the map you gave me.
A : get to the new office on time?
B : arrive there on time thanks to the map you gave me.
