Last helps you talk about the time that just passed.
When you say last year, it means the year that finished before this one. Last month is the month that ended before this one. And last week is the week that came before this week.
Using phrases like last year, last month, last week, or last day is a way to talk about things that happened not too long ago.
In a discussion about changes, someone says I switched careers last year. What does last year indicate about the timing of their career change?
They are planning to switch careers in the near future.
This answer suggests a future action, while last year indicates the change already occurred in the past.
They have been considering a career change for a long time.
Though they might have considered it for a long time, last year specifically identifies when the change took place.
The career change is happening currently.
Last year refers to a completed action in the past, not something happening in the present.
The career switch happened in the previous year.
