Busco una solución posible al problema.

I'm looking for a possible solution to the problem.

One Form for Masculine and Feminine

Good news! Posible doesn't change for gender. It's un plan posible (a possible plan) and una idea posible (a possible idea). It just adds an 's' for plural things: planes posibles, ideas posibles.

The 'Es posible que...' Trigger

When you say Es posible que... (It's possible that...), you're talking about uncertainty. This often triggers a special verb form called the subjunctive. For example: Es posible que llueva (It's possible that it will rain), not Es posible que llueve.

Using 'posible' for people's abilities

Mistake:No es posible para mí ir a la fiesta.

Correction: No puedo ir a la fiesta. To say you 'can' or 'can't' do something, it's more natural to use the verb `poder` (to be able). Use `posible` for situations or events.
