What does Acabar de mean?
Practice Version
Acabar De:
To finish. Acabar de. In Spanish, "acabar de" is used to indicate that an action has just been completed.
Example:
Picture “a cab” crossing a finish line: ride complete, meter off—you’re done! That “a cab” sound can help you remember acabar de + infinitive: “to finish doing something.” Acabé de leer el libro means “I finished reading the book.” Here’s the useful twist: in the present tense, it usually means “to have just done something”—Acabo de llegar means “I’ve just arrived.” Imagine stepping out of that cab: journey finished, just arrived!
