La Semana Pasada

Real World Example

The Spanish phrase "la semana pasada" translates to "last week" in English. To help you remember this, think of "pasada" as similar to "passed," like when you pass a baton in a relay race. So, imagine the week as a runner in a relay race who's just handed off the baton to the next runner—it's the week that has "passed" by! Just like in a race, it's no longer in the present but a part of the past. 📅
