Lesson 3 — Compare Spanish and English: Can and Puedo
What You Will Learn
English “can + action” and Spanish “puedo + infinitive”
Puedo hablar.
English translation: I can speak.
| Spanish parts | English parts |
|---|---|
| puedo + hablar | I can + speak |
| The Spanish action keeps its infinitive ending: hablar. | English uses the base action after can. It does not say “can to speak.” |
Explain the difference: Both languages place the ability builder before the action. Spanish keeps the full infinitive. English uses the base verb without to after can.
Easy learning rule: After puedo, use the Spanish infinitive. After English can, use the English base verb without to.
Puedo practicar.→I can practise.
Puedo entrar.→I can enter.
No puedo salir.→I cannot leave.
