Questions & Answers about El equipo trabaja rápido para lograr el objetivo.
Why does the sentence use equipo in singular form even though it refers to multiple people?
In Spanish, equipo is a collective noun treated as a single entity. So, while it includes several people, the word itself remains singular. You might see it used with a singular verb (such as trabaja) or, in some contexts, people use plural verbs, but standard usage keeps it singular in Spain.
Why is rápido used instead of rápidamente?
In everyday Spanish, rápido can function adverbially as well as adjectivally. Although rápidamente is the standard adverbial form, speakers commonly use rápido to mean “quickly.” It’s perfectly acceptable in both spoken and written Spanish, especially in casual contexts.
What is the role of para in this sentence?
Para expresses purpose or goal (“in order to” in English). Here, the team works quickly in order to achieve the goal, linking the action (trabaja rápido) with its intended outcome (lograr el objetivo).
Why is trabaja in present tense here?
In Spanish, the simple present can describe habitual or current actions. This sentence states that the team, by routine or immediate effort, works quickly. It does not necessarily mean they’re doing it only at this very moment; it can also reflect a general ongoing habit.
Is there any difference between lograr and alcanzar when talking about a goal?
Both lograr and alcanzar can mean “to achieve” or “to reach” a goal. Lograr emphasizes achieving or succeeding in something, whereas alcanzar can hint more at physically or figuratively “reaching” a point or level. However, in many contexts, they’re often interchangeable.
