Using the wrong form for 'I got married'

The accent mark on the 'é' is crucial! It tells you this is a completed action in the past ('I married'). Without it, 'case' means 'I marry' (present subjunctive) or is the noun 'case/container'.

The Role of the Accent

If you are the person getting married, you must use the reflexive form: 'Me casé' (I got married). If you just say 'Yo casé,' it usually means you were the official performing the ceremony.

The Difference Between 'Casar' and 'Casarse'

While 'casé' is the past action, to describe your current status, use the adjective: 'Estoy casado/a' (I am married).
