Spanish Irregular Verbs Hub | Poder Guide

PODER is the verb you reach for to express ability, possibility, permission, and polite requests. It’s irregular in the present, irregular in the preterite, and it carries a meaning shift between past tenses — pude means “I managed to,” podía means “I could” — that trips up learners at every level.

This quiz takes you through four levels, from basic present-tense forms and polite requests, through the preterite and imperfect, to the meaning shift, idioms, and a mixed practice set where no rule is signposted. Every question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you something. Score 85% or higher to master each level.
