Can we add 'est' to this sentence?

Bonjour!

Julie arrive en retard tous les jours.  

Can we say: 'Julie est arrive en retard tous les jours'?

You can use either "Julie est en retard" or "Julie arrive en retard," but combining est and arrive looks like the passe compose --> "elle est arrivée" which means "she arrived"

Bonjour,

Parce que la régie : est dans le passé composé,  

Être arriver,  

Joulie est arrivée en retard.
