Hola Celia
The conjugation of acabar de is that of an regular -ar verb in any tense. We haven't mentioned anything related to conjugation in the lesson as it is an idiomatic lesson. The examples you see in the lesson are mixed, some in the present (acabo de) and some in the imperfect (acababa de). These are the tenses normally used in this construction. So if you want to say "someone has just done something" you conjugate acabar in the present:
If you want to say "someone had just done something" then you conjugate acabar in the imperfect:
We will add a note to the lesson to make it a bit more clear.
Gracias y saludos
