Like how acabar de means to have just done something.. although acabar means to finish. I am just looking for simple phrases that can be created like this. They don't really have to be that exact construction though. I guess I am just looking for idiomatic expressions that are common in everyday speech. |
Acabar has several uses and figures into hundreds of phrases. Have a look here for some examples. The second usage on that page can also mean to run out of something. Some uses have no preposition. Others do. A pronominal form also exists.
Volver a can mean to do something again, as in Vuelvo a leer el libro. (I'm reading the book again.) Ir a is used to form the simple future tense, meaning to be going to do something in the near future. , as in Voy a leer el libro esta tarde. (I'm going to read the book this afternoon.) |

Vuelvo a leer el mismo libro por décima vez (I again read the same book for a tenth time.) Not even close! :-) Voy a leer el mismo libro por cuarta vez I am going to read the same book a fourth time. Contento? :-) |
I will try to do my attempt.
Acabo de terminade comer. I just have finish to eat. Vuelvo en la noche a jugar. I'm going to back tonight to play. Voy a ir contigo al doctor. I'm going to with you to the doctor. Greetings. |
Thanks guys, but I guess I wasn't very clear. I already know how these specific verbs are used. I am looking for other verbs that are used to make phrases like these.
