To say that an action "just" happened, speakers in many parts of Latin America use the adverb recién paired with a conjugated verb.
While you may already know acabar de + infinitive, placing recién directly before a past tense (preterite) verb is an extremely common, everyday alternative.
| The foreman just arrived at the camp. | El capataz recién llegó al campamento. |
| I just cut the log with the saw. | Recién corté el tronco con la sierra. |
| We just cut this wood in the sawmill. | Recién cortamos esta madera en el aserradero. |
| The workers just cut down this very tall pine. | Los obreros recién talaron este pino altísimo. |
