“Acheive” or “achieve”: which is correct?

Why people get it wrong

The error occurs due to the common confusion about the correct sequence of i and e in English spelling, especially with words that sound similar to believe and receive, which follow the i before e except after c rule. The rule doesn’t apply to achieve, but some people can mistakenly apply it here.

Examples with achieve

• I hope to achieve my goals this year.
• She worked hard to achieve success.
• We can achieve more by working together.
