P oder and saber can both translate to be able to, can and could.
Skills
► Use saber when to be able to, can and could mean "know how to":
Can you type? ¿Sabes escribir a máquina?
His wife couldn't drive Su mujer no sabía conducir
Other contexts
► Generally, use poder:
He can stay here Puede quedarse aquí
We have not been able to persuade them No hemos podido convencerlos When can and could are followed by find or a verb of perception - see, hear, feel, taste or smell - they are usually not translated:
I can't find it No lo encuentro
What can you see? ¿Qué ves?
Alternatives to "poder"
► When to be able means "to be capable of", you can often use ser capaz de as an alternative to poder:
I don't think he'll be able to resist it No creo que sea capaz de or pueda resistirlo For further uses and examples, see able, can* * *['eɪbəl]1) (pred)to be able to + inf — poder* + inf; ( referring to particular skills) saber* + inf
