The words "achieve" and "accomplish" are often used interchangeably, but there are subtle differences in their meanings. "Achieve" usually refers to reaching a goal or a desired outcome, often something that requires effort, skill, or some time. "Accomplish" often emphasizes the completion of a task or project. Think of achieving a high score on a test (requiring skill and effort) versus accomplishing a complex science project (requiring a task to be completed). Both involve reaching a result, but the focus differs.

Here are some examples:

• Achieve: "I achieved a perfect score on my math test." (English) / "Tengo un puntaje perfecto en mi examen de matemáticas." (Spanish)

• Accomplish: "He accomplished all the tasks for his history project." (English) / "Él completó todas las tareas de su proyecto de historia." (Spanish)

• Achieve: "She achieved her dream of becoming a doctor." (English) / "Ella logró su sueño de convertirse en doctora." (Spanish)

• Accomplish: "They accomplished their goal of raising funds for the new school." (English) / "Lograron su objetivo de recaudar fondos para la nueva escuela." (Spanish)

• Achieve: "We achieved a significant breakthrough in our research." (English) / "Logramos un avance significativo en nuestra investigación." (Spanish)

• Accomplish: "We accomplished a lot in a short period of time." (English) / "Logramos mucho en poco tiempo." (Spanish)
