El Ano Pasado

Real World Example

The Spanish phrase "el año pasado" translates to "last year" in English. To help you remember it, think of the word "past," which sounds a lot like "pasado." Imagine the past year as a giant, friendly pancake (because pancakes are round like a calendar) flipping through the air. The pancake is labeled "Last Year" and is flipping right out of 2023 into 2024. So, whenever you hear "pasado," picture that pancake flipping through the past year! 🥞
