✨ What students practise
The six forms of pouvoir in the present: je peux, tu peux, il peut, nous pouvons, vous pouvez, ils peuvent — including the two traps, the singular peux and the plural pouvons / pouvez. Then the use in context: ability (un poisson peut nager), permission and polite request (pouvez-vous me donner…?).
The copying step is not filler: after checking the answer, the student writes the complete sentence, which fixes the spelling of the verb form and of the whole sentence at the same time.
