Lograr conjugation
Table of Contents
Lograr is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to achieve”.
Below are all of the conjugations for lograr in Spanish, in all three moods (indicative/indicativo, subjunctive/subjunctivo and imperative/imperativo) and all of the tenses, for each pronoun.
The vosotros pronoun is mainly used in mainland Spain, and is the informal second-person plural – it could be considered the Spanish version of “y’all”. It is rarely found in Latin America, where ustedes is used instead.
The vos form is used instead of tú in some Spanish speaking countries of South America, especially the Southern Cone (e.g. Argentina and Uruguay) and has a different conjugation.
Lograr Infinitive
English Infinitive | to achieve |
---|---|
Spanish Infinitive | lograr |
Lograr Gerund and Past Participle
The gerund (gerundio) is used with the continuous tenses, e.g. present continuous (está logrando) and past continuous (estaba logrando). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. achieving).
The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he logrado and hubiera logrado. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have achieved).

Lograr Indicative Conjugations
The basic form of speech, el indicativo is used for making statements, talking about facts, events and things that are certain and objective.
Lograr Presente / Present
The present tense is as it sounds – it’s for talking about things that are currently going on, which are habitual, or which generally exist. In English, this would be “I achieve” or “they achieve”.
Pronoun | Spanish |
---|---|
Yo | logro |
Tú | logras |
Él / Ella / Usted | logra |
Nosotros / as | logramos |
Vosotros / as | lográis |
Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | logran |

Lograr Preterite / Pretérito Indefinido
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I achieved” or “she achieved” in English.
In Spanish, there are two past tenses where just one is used in English; the pretérite infefinido is typically used to refer to a concrete, specific moment in time.
Pronoun | Spanish | English |
---|---|---|
Yo | logré | I achieved |
Tú | lograste | You achieved |
Él / Ella / Usted | logró | He / she / you achieved |
Nosotros / as | logramos | We achieved |
Vosotros / as | lograsteis | You achieved |
Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | lograron | They / you achieved |
Vos | lograste | You achieved |
Lograr Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was achieving” or “she was achieving” in English, and is typically used to describe things and set a scene, talk about events without a specific timeframe, or talk about habitual events or states in the past.
Pronoun | Spanish | English |
---|---|---|
Yo | lograba | I was achieving |
Tú | lograbas | You were achieving |
Él / Ella / Usted | lograba | He was / she was / you were achieving |
Nosotros / as | lográbamos | We were achieving |
Vosotros / as | lograbais | You were achieving |
Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | lograban | They / you were achieving |
Vos | lograbas | You were achieving |
Lograr Perfect / Perfecto
The perfect tense is for talking about things which happened in the past but are still related to the present or continue into the present.
In English, these use the auxiliary verbs ‘have’ and ‘has’ – i.e. “I have achieved” and “she has achieved”.
Pronoun | Spanish | English |
---|---|---|
Yo | he logrado | I have achieved |
Tú | has logrado | You have achieved |
Él / Ella / Usted | ha logrado | He has / she has / you have achieved |
Nosotros / as | hemos logrado | We have achieved |
Vosotros / as | habéis logrado | You have achieved |
Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | han logrado | They / you have achieved |
Vos | has logrado | You have achieved |
Lograr Conditional / Condicional
The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would achieve” or “she would achieve”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
---|---|---|
Yo | lograría | I would achieve |
Tú | lograrías | You would achieve |
Él / Ella / Usted | lograría | He / she / you would achieve |
Nosotros / as | lograríamos | We would achieve |
Vosotros / as | lograríais | You would achieve |
Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | lograrían | They / you would achieve |
Vos | lograrías | You would achieve |
Lograr Future / Futuro
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will achieve” or “they will achieve”.
It is more commonly used for making a hypothesis about the present. To talk about the future, Spanish speakers frequently use “ir + a + infinivo”, e.g. “van a lograr” means “They are going to achieve”.
Pronoun | Spanish | English |
---|---|---|
Yo | lograré | I will achieve |
Tú | lograrás | You will achieve |
Él / Ella / Usted | logrará | He / she / you will achieve |
