〜いらっしゃる
〜いらっしゃる means to be/go/come (honorific). It is a JLPT N4 grammar point. 「いらっしゃる」 is the honorific form of 「いる」, 「行く」, and 「来る」. Use it for the state or movement of someone you respect, such as a teacher or guest. Do not use it for your own actions.
Japanese sources describe it as 「「いる・行く・来る」の尊敬語」.
