conseguía

Consiguía is the imperfect indicative form of the Spanish verb conseguir. The verb conseguir generally translates to "to get," "to obtain," "to achieve," or "to manage to do" something. The imperfect tense, indicated by the -ía ending, is used to describe ongoing, habitual, or incomplete actions in the past. Therefore, "conseguía" describes an action of getting, obtaining, achieving, or managing to do something that was happening repeatedly, was a habit, or was in progress at a particular time in the past. For example, one might say "Él conseguía buenas notas en la escuela" which means "He used to get good grades in school" or "He was getting good grades in school." Another example could be "Ella conseguía abrir la puerta con dificultad" meaning "She was managing to open the door with difficulty." The context of the sentence will determine the precise nuance of "conseguía." It conveys a sense of past continuity or a background action.
