Spanish Grammar: Using the verb “ACABAR” - “I’ve just...”

- I will show you how to make sentences using a very practical verb in Spanish: "acabar" -- to finish, to end, to have just done something. The verb "acabar" has many possibilities. It is like a verb that went to the United States and opened the opportunities for its future. In fact, sometimes I feel like the verb "acabar" because I started to upload my videos on CZcams and my students multiplied. The verb "acabar" is a neglected, hard-working fellow who quietly tightens your Spanish screws, makes your Spanish more straight, even, clear, clean, well done, and gives you the correct angle on what you want to say. There are many ways to use the verb "acabar" in Spanish, and they are all important, handy, and easy to learn. So just to give you an example, if you use the verb "acabar" in present (acabo, acabas, acaba, etc.), plus the preposition "de", plus a verb in infinitive (non-conjugated form of the verb), you end up with something like "Acabo de hablar con Joaquín" (I've just talked to Joaquin), "Acabo de ver a Yolanda" (I've just seen Yolanda), "Acabo de comer" (I've just eaten). You may also use the verb "acabar" plus a noun with an article when you simply want to express that you finished something at some point in the past. So "acabo de" is kind of a past action that is connected to the present, it is like a past but very present action in a way. The action expressed with "acabo de" is linked to now in one way or another, and "acabo" without the preposition "de" is simply a past action, not particularly related to the present. Watch this lesson and learn learn a lot more useful information about this verb "acabar" and its uses in Spanish.

Ana :)
I love when Ana tells us little personal stories during the lessons !! She makes everything so memorable 🥺💕
This girl will Always be my favourite teacher. I have learned SO much from her. We should all send her 20$ as an extra thanks. 🥰
Your lessons are amazing Ana. Your personal touch is just charming. Makes me smile! Thanks again for this lesson
This lady is amazing......I am becoming fluent in Spanish because of her. I love her teaching style, so funny and so enticing!
I’m happy when you always include the vosotros used in Spain because I’m from there. Muchas gracias Ana
We need a field trip video teaching about the outside
You are my favorite Spanish teacher!
No hay problema Profe!!! Es muy Hermosa.
Your personality and truth is what makes us love you. Thank you Ana!
I love this channel! I really want to learn Spanish; this is helping so much. What a wonderful spirit, and great teaching style!
Yay my favorite teacher is back!! Thank you Ana, I can’t wait to learn 🙏🤓
Yo soy se México y obviamente no estoy aprendiendo español, pero es muy divertido verte jaja, eres muy graciosa!
I love that this explains the difference in time. Acabar de (just finished/just done, recent past) vs, por ejemplo, acabo de ver la video de Ana!
Your are a rare delight. Where else can you get serenaded while you learn Spanish? You make me laugh too. If I learn some Spanish in the bargain, well, all the better.
Pretty dress Ana.
Your channel is one of my new years resolutions.
Hola, Ana. You lessons are helping me to learn and helping to communicate with my team in LATAM region. Love from India 🇮🇳
Without knowledge there is only darkness. I appreciate you.
Thanks for the lesson. I like your voice. And your singing voice.
Jejejejejeje :) me da mucho gusto. ¡Saludos!
Very good lesson, Anna. I’m almost understanding it. It takes me numerous times to understand these lessons. The worst part is that once I begin to understand, I forget much of what I’ve learned. I’m 68 years old and it’s not say for me, but I love it. Especially when I understand. Thanks.
This came just in time! This concept was confusing me so much. Your explanation, as usual, was easy to understand, thorough and fun to watch. Thanks for always being such a tireless, great profesora!!!
Gracias Ana,soy Haitiana 🇭🇹 that's a pleasure for me to learn Spanish with you 🤗 que Dios te bendiga
Oui elle enseigne bien l'espagnol
Gracias, Ana. ¡Me encantan tus vídeos! Eres una gran maestra.
I always wondered how people used the different forms. I always used acabar (in the present) with the verb infinitive. Now I get the second usage. Thanks. Awesome. !
Hace mucho sol en Dallas pero ayer estaba nublado. But your lessons are really good Ana. Keep up the good work.
Your voice is beautiful. Please sing more. I work with Spanish: speaking Argentinian people and your lessons have allowed me to communicate at a much deeper level. Especially when it comes to humor. I hope to be fluent in another year or two. Gracias por todo!
Thank you for the wonderful lesson.
Your dress is beautiful Teacher Anna.
