Questions & Answers about Por último, el chico se baña.

Why does the sentence start with Por último?

Por último means finally, lastly, or in the end. It is often used to show the last step in a sequence.

For example:

• Primero... = first...
• Luego... = then...
• Por último... = finally...

So this sentence sounds like the final action in a list or story.

Why is it el chico and not just chico?

In Spanish, it is very common to use the definite article (el, la, los, las) before nouns when talking about a specific person or thing.

So:

• el chico = the boy

Spanish uses articles more often than English does, so leaving out el here would usually sound incomplete.
