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
