Poder (to be able to, can) in the future: 14 free exercises with an explanation after every answer, plus the full conjugation table.

IWhat to watch for

Poder is one of the twelve verbs with an irregular future stem: the e of the infinitive drops and you attach the normal future endings to podr- — podré, podrás, podrá, podremos, podréis, podrán. The endings are the same as for every Spanish verb; only the stem shrinks.

The biggest trap is writing 'poderé' from the full infinitive, or dropping the accent (podre). Remember: every form except podremos carries a written accent on the ending. Use these forms for what someone will or won't be able to do — plans, promises, and predictions.
