💡 Grammar Points
The Stress is on 'I'
The 'é' at the end tells you two things: it happened in the past, and 'I' was the one who did it.
Completed Actions
Use this form for actions that happened once and are finished, like 'I lifted the box' at a specific moment.
❌ Common Pitfalls
The Missing Accent
Mistake: "Using 'levante' or 'levanto' to mean 'I lifted'."
Correction: Always use the accent mark (levanté). Without it, the word changes to 'I lift' or a command.
⭐ Usage Tips
Getting out of Bed
When talking about waking up and getting out of bed, don't forget to put 'me' before 'levanté' (Me levanté).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 'levanté' and 'levante'?
'Levanté' (with the accent) means 'I lifted' in the past. 'Levante' (no accent) is used for suggestions or commands, like 'I hope he lifts it'.
Do I always need to use 'me' with 'levanté'?
Only if you are talking about yourself getting up or standing up. If you are lifting an object, like a book, you just say 'Levanté el libro'.
