The form depends on the subject.

I am able - yo puedo

You are able - tú puedes

He/She/It/You (formal) is/are able - él/ella/usted puede

We are able - nosotros/nosotras podemos

You (plural) are able - vosotros/vosotras podéis (vosotros / vosotras is an archaic form of you in plural) - ustedes pueden

They are able - Ellos pueden

What is can is Spanish?

In English, "can" is used as a verb, but it really has no infinitive form. In other words, there is no such thing as "to can". To understand the meaning in a translation, think of "to be able to". Example: "Can you go to the store?" may be thought of as "Are you able to go to the store". This corresponds to the Spanish verb "poder". In the example, "¿Puede ir a la tienda?" expresses the same thought.

How do you say I couldn't in Spanish?

In the Spanish language, the way to describe the inability to do something is typically done by using the verb "poder" which (as a verb infinitive) roughly translates to "to be able to do something" or "can": However, in Spanish, verbs are conjugated (change form) differently depending on who is performing the action. Additionally, to "negate" a verb action, the word "no" is typically placed immediately prior to the verb (the exception being when direct and indirect objects are in use). I will give you some examples to help: I cannot: (Yo) no puedo You cannot: (Tú) no puedes He/she cannot: (Él/Ella) no puede We cannot: (Nosotros) no podemos You all cannot: (Ustedes/Vosotros) no pueden/podeís They cannot: (Ellos/Ellas) no pueden
