La Semana Pasada

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. 📅
