What does "manage to" mean?
And how can I use it?
Can anybody give me some examples?

Thanks =]

How did you manage to get here in this awful weather?--How did you travel?

I managed to find some candles in the store.--- I was surprised to get them.

How they manage to remain cheerful is beyond me!---- They are so poor, yet they thrive.

Did you manage to book your holiday?----Were there still vacancies at your chosen resort?

(to be able to)

Kitos.
