Irregular Future Stem
The verb 'poder' doesn't just add endings; it changes its stem from 'poder-' to 'podr-' before adding the future endings (-ás, -é, -emos, etc.).
The Simple Future Tense
We use 'podrás' to talk about a potential action or ability that will happen later, in the future. It’s a definite statement about what 'tú' (you) will be capable of.
Forgetting the Stem Change
Mistake: “Using *poderás* (Incorrect)”
Correction: Use *podrás* (Correct). The 'e' in 'poder' drops out and an 'r' is added to make the future stem 'podr-'.
