💡 Grammar Points

Masculine Noun Rule

Since 'logro' is a masculine noun, it must be used with masculine articles and adjectives: 'el logro' (the achievement), 'un logro' (an achievement), 'muchos logros' (many achievements).

❌ Common Pitfalls

Confusing Logro and Meta

Mistake: "Using 'meta' when you mean the result, not the goal itself. E.g., 'Mi meta fue un éxito.'"

Correction: Use 'meta' for the goal (the target) and 'logro' for the successful result. 'Alcanzar la meta fue un gran logro.' (Reaching the goal was a great achievement.)

⭐ Usage Tips

The Root Verb

Remember the related verb 'lograr' (to achieve). If you can substitute 'lograr' in a sentence, you probably need the noun 'logro' to describe the result.
