💡 Grammar Points

Past Tense for Completed Actions

The form 'lograste' is the simple past tense (preterite). It tells us that the achievement or success happened and finished at a specific point in the past.

Following with an Action

When you want to say what you achieved, just follow 'lograste' with the verb in its base form (infinitive): 'Lograste escapar' (You managed to escape).

❌ Common Pitfalls

Confusing Past Tenses

Mistake: "Using 'lograbas' when talking about a single, finished achievement."

Correction: 'Lograbas' (imperfect) describes ongoing or habitual actions in the past. Use 'lograste' (preterite) for a specific, successful outcome: 'Lograste ganar el premio' (You won the prize).

⭐ Usage Tips

Expressing Congratulations

This form is perfect for expressing admiration or surprise about someone's past success, often starting with '¡Qué bien!' or '¡Vaya!'
