Hi Alan. Welcome to the forum.
"Puede" is he/she/it/usted can
"No puedo" is I cannot
"Puedo" is I can

"peude servirse" means "can be served" but in another sentence "que puede ser de limon" which means "that can be lemon" I know that ser means "to be" but why is it not used in the first instance and is used used in the second instance. thanks for the help - alanreen, Jul 9, 2010
