Acabar De

Real World Example

The Spanish phrase "acabar de" means "to have just finished" doing something. Imagine you’re at a magical dinner party hosted by none other than the famous chef, Julia Child. As she serves the last course, she exclaims, "Ah, we just 'a-cab'bed this meal!" The phrase "a-cab" sounds like “acabar,” and just like that magical culinary experience, you have "just finished" a delicious creation. Remember, "acabar de" is like catching the end of an event, just as Julia finishes her dinner with a flourish. 🍽️
