Right, so today I'm back at my Airbnb. I've walked thousands of steps and eaten a huge amount of amazing food. So now I'm just chilling in my Airbnb and ready for an early night.

So I'm ready for another full day tomorrow of exploring. Now, I want to tell you about another really useful word in Spanish. This word is poedo. Pueido. and it means I can. And just like the other words I've taught this season, it can be changed slightly to mean a multitude of different things. I want you to first repeat after me.

I can. Puehedo. Okay, cool. So, to say I can eat, you would say, Puedo comer. Puedo, comeer. Following the same style as, before, how do you think you would change it to say you can eat?

Puide comeer. Puede. Comeer. As you can see, you just changed the ending from Puido with an O to Puede, with an E. The O becomes an E. It's just the same as how you change Necessito to Necessita.

Puedo becomes Puede So, okay how do you think you'd say They can eat Pueden Comer Pueden

Commer Puedo loses the O and gets an E-N instead to become they can Imagine you finish your dinner in a restaurant and you want to pay

How would you say I can pay I can pay. Puedo Pagar. Puedo Pagar. Now, how do you think you would ask? Can I pay?

Puedo Pagar? See, it's exactly the same. Again, with that upward intonation and question mark. Now, do you remember how to say, I want to sit down? Quiro sentarme. I want

SENTARME Sentarmie Meaning Sit myself down To sit myself down is Sentarme So

Imagine you've walked Into a restaurant How would you ask Can I sit down? Puedo sentarme? How would you ask Can I eat here? Puehomere here?

Puehomere here? How would you say you can't speak? You can't speak. No Pue dee No Pue deebleer. No Pue dee How about they can't drink? They can't drink.

No Pueben Bebeer. No. Pueben How about? I can't eat here. I can't eat here. No. How about why can't you eat here?

No, I can't you eat here? Why can't you eat here? Why can't you come here? Why can't they drink there? Why can't they drink there? Why can't they drink there? Why can no they be there? How would you say she can't pay?

pay. No, Pue de Pagar. How about he can't pay? It's the same. No, Pue de Pagar. Now listen up. He in Spanish is El. El. And she in Spanish is Eia. Eia. So, if you want to specify who you're talking about, whether it's a boy or a girl, a man or a woman, you can add el or ella at the start of the sentence. So, for example, he can eat. El puade comeer. He can eat. Conversely, she can talk. To say she can talk,

Ella Pue de Abla Ella Pue Ablaar Now remember The only time

people usually add this in Spanish is when they're specifying something to avoid confusion Let's say you're at a restaurant

with a couple of friends A mate and a female If the female friend is allergic to cheese You would tell your server Shea no Pueh Kese

Ella No you do this because if you just said no puerto can't eat the cheese it's correct Spanish but you're not actually saying which person can't eat the cheese if your male friend was going to pay the bill you could tell the waiter el puade pagar see el Pue Pagar. This means, of course, he can pay. While specifying genders, how would you say she can eat and he can pay?

He can eat and he can pay. Once more. Eya can comeer and he can pay. How about I'm going to eat and you can pay? I'm going to come and you can pay. I'm going to come and I am going to. So how about can you pay? you pay, please?

Pue Pagar, for favor. Pue Pagar, for favor. Pue. Pagar. For

favor. Well, Viehereros, quick test. I'll say it in English, you say it in Spanish.

And remember, say it out loud. How would you say? I can eat. Puehomere. Puedo come. How about

you, formal, can eat. Pue can eat. Puehre. They can eat. Pue can eat. Pueden. Puehden.

Comear. Now, make it a question. Can I pay? Puedo Pagar. How about? Can I sit down? I can't I can't sitar me

I can I eat here I can come here? Can I come here? Now make it negative You can't speak No, can't talk No Pueh

They can't drink They can't drink is No Pueben Bebeer No Pue can't eat here. No, I can't eat here. No, I can't, come here.

How about, why can't you eat here? Why can't you eat here? Why can't they drink there? Why can't they drink there? Why can no put them there? Why? Why not they can't

be there? Huh? Why not they're there? Now, let's be specific. She can't

eat cheese. She no can't eat cheese. She no can

eat to eat cheese. She no can eat

to come that he can. He can. He can. Can. pay.

Pue Pagar. El. Pue de Pagar. Okay. And one last one. I'm going to eat and you can pay.

I'm going to eat and you pay. Okay? I'm going to come and Pue de Pagar. So, how did you do?
