    Learners sometimes use the present form ‘consegues’ when they need the past action.

  • ¿Conseguiste las entradas?

    Adding an article (las) changes the nuance; the question usually omits it.

  • ¿Conseguiste usted entradas?

    Using the formal ‘usted’ form with ‘conseguiste’ is incorrect; you must say ‘conseguyó’.

Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking countries tickets for popular events sell out quickly, so it’s common to ask friends if they ‘conseguieron entradas’ as a way of checking plans. When speaking to someone you don’t know well, add a polite opener such as “Disculpa” or use the formal form “¿Conseguyó usted entradas?” to show respect.
