Answer:

¿Puedes tú ir a la tienda?

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

the verb "poder" means "to be able to", or "can"

Poder is an irregular verb; when conjugated in the yo, tú, Él/ella/usted, and ustedes form of the verb.

When it's conjugated in those forms, the o in poder gets changed to ue

for example, if we were to conjugate poder into the yo form:

as we're doing yo, we change the stem of -er to -o

I can= yo puedo

the same thing would happen for tú, which is the form we want

as it's in tú, we change -er to -es

therefore "you can" is "tú puedes"

*in questions, typically the verb comes first, then the subject. The same thing happenes in English. If you were to ask someone if they can do something, you would ask "Can you do this?" instead of "You can do this?" The same thing happenes in Spanish; the conjugation is still the same though.

Replace the _____ with "puedes"

therefore, the sentence with conjugated poder will be:

¿Puedes tú ir a la tienda?

Hope this helps!
