The Spanish verb 'dejar' means 'to leave,' but when combined with 'de' to form 'dejar de,' it changes meaning to 'to stop doing something.' For example, 'dejé de fumar' means 'I stopped smoking,' and 'dejé de trabajar el año pasado' means 'I stopped working last year.' This grammatical structure is essential for expressing cessation of actions in Spanish.

Add “DE”… and the Meaning Changes in Spanish #shortsAjouté :
All right, the third version would be with the verb dejar. Dejar means to leave, like dejé mis llaves, I left my keys. But if you put de, dejar de, it means to stop doing something, like dejé de fumar, I stopped smoking. Dejé de trabajar el año pasado, I stopped working last year. So, dejar de is really useful. So, another example, dejé de beber alcohol. What's the meaning?
Yeah, I stopped drinking alcohol, which I haven't yet.
