Questions & Answers about Ojalá mi prima consiga su meta mañana.

Why is ojalá used here?

Ojalá is used to express a strong hope or wish that something will happen. In Spanish, it often introduces wishes for the future, accompanied by the subjunctive mood.

Why do we use the present subjunctive form consiga?

The subjunctive form consiga is used after ojalá because you’re expressing a desire or hope rather than a certain fact. The event hasn’t happened yet, so Spanish grammar requires the subjunctive mood.

Is it correct to say ojalá que mi prima consiga su meta mañana?

Yes, adding que after ojalá is completely acceptable. Some speakers include que, others omit it. Both forms are correct and mean the same.

What’s the difference between consiga and consigue in this context?

Consiga is the subjunctive form, used for wishes, doubts, or possibilities. Consigue is the indicative present form, used for statements or facts. Since you’re hoping for something to happen (not stating it as fact), the subjunctive is needed.

Could I replace consiga su meta with logre su meta?

Yes. Lograr (to achieve) carries a similar sense of accomplishing a goal, so ojalá mi prima logre su meta mañana also sounds natural. Both consiga and logre express the idea of achieving something hoped for in the future.
