Useful Spanish

Just thought i would post some other useful Spanish for you guys.Hope it will be of value.

One very useful verb to use is 'Acabar'.It can mean several things depening on context but used with 'de + verb infinitive' it translates to 'having just done something.
Examples would be:
Acabo de comer = I have just eaten.
Acabamos de ver = We have just seen
Acaban de andar = They have just walked.

These examples are using the present tense of 'Acabar'.

Depending on the level of Spanish you have, i guess talking about verb infinitives can be a bit daunting, but for anyone just starting out, dont let this be off putting.

That's quite useful, as you can use the past tense without knowing the past participle conjugations... a bit like saying "I am going to go" to indicate future tense without knowing it...
