Conjugate Acid

Imagine you're at a crowded party, and you're trying to find a friend to talk to, but you only have one seat available at your table. Adding someone to your table is similar to how a base becomes a conjugate acid when it gains a proton. In this analogy, you are the base, the empty seat is the space available for a proton, and when a friend sits down, they've filled that spot, transforming your seating arrangement just as a base transforms into a conjugate acid by accepting a proton.
