💡 Grammar Points

Preterite Tense

'Logré' is the past tense used for actions that started and finished completely at a specific point in time: 'I achieved it, and now it's done.'

The 'Yo' Form

The accent mark on the 'é' (logré) is essential! It tells you that the action happened in the past and that the speaker ('yo' or 'I') was the one who did it.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Confusing Past Tenses

Mistake: "Usando 'lograba' (I used to achieve) when meaning 'logré' (I achieved)."

Correction: Use 'logré' for single, completed achievements, and save 'lograba' for describing repeated past actions or situations.

⭐ Usage Tips

Using 'Lograr' with Other Verbs

When you say you 'managed to do' something, you simply follow 'logré' with the infinitive (the 'to do' form): 'Logré comprar' (I managed to buy).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'logré' the same as 'tuve éxito'?

They are very similar! 'Logré' means 'I achieved/I managed,' focusing on the completion of the action. 'Tuve éxito' means 'I had success' and is a more general phrase focusing on the positive outcome. You can often use them interchangeably, but 'logré' is usually followed directly by the goal or the action you managed to do.
