Show transcript
Listening to words with final and penultimate syllable stress helps to develop the ability to identify the stress. Making vocabulary links using antonyms or words with related meanings can enhance recall. The verb 'poder' is a modal verb and means 'to be able to', 'can'. Most present tense forms of 'poder' have a vowel change in the stem, ('puedo'); 'podemos' (we can) has no vowel change. The verb 'poder' is always followed by an infinitive, e.g. 'Podemos participar en clase.'
