How to Say "i struck" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “i struck” is “golpeé” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples

I stubbed (hit) my toe on the table.
Ayer golpeé la pelota con mucha fuerza.

The 'I' in the Past
This word is the 'yo' (I) form of the verb 'golpear' when talking about a completed action in the past.
The Stress is at the End
The accent on the final 'é' tells you to emphasize that last sound. Without the accent, it becomes a different verb form entirely.
Forget the Accent?
Mistake: “Using 'golpee' instead of 'golpeé'.”
Correction: Say 'golpeé' for the past. 'Golpee' (no accent) is used for wishes or commands like 'I want him to hit'.
