Questions & Answers about Podemos trotar e hidratarnos juntos.

Why does the sentence start with podemos?

Podemos is the present tense, nosotros form of poder: we can / we are able to.

So:

• puedo = I can
• puedes = you can
• puede = he/she/it can
• podemos = we can
• podéis = you all can
• pueden = they can

In this sentence, podemos introduces what we can do: trotar e hidratarnos.

Why are trotar and hidratarnos in the infinitive?

After poder, Spanish normally uses another verb in the infinitive.

So the pattern is:

• poder + infinitive

Examples:

• Podemos trotar = We can jog
• Puedo comer = I can eat
• Puedes venir = You can come

That is why you get:

• podemos trotar
• podemos hidratarnos

rather than conjugating those verbs again.

Why is it e instead of y?
