∙ 13y ago"Poder" is in a class of irregular verbs referred to a "stem-changing". The "stem" of the verb is the part of the word that remains after the "er", "ir", or "ar" is removed. In this case, the stem is "pod". When the stem contains an "o" as the stressed syllable, it normally will change to "ue". This change will be seen in the present tense in all forms except the first person plural "nosotros" and the second person plural (informal) "vosotros".
For "poder" these forms are: puedo, puedes, puede, podemos, podéis, pueden.
