Hola! Sorry, not a question - but I just wanted to say I noticed a typo at the top, in the first sentence right after the first chart. It says "nosostros" instead of "nosotros". Thanks, I wasn't sure where to put this comment!
Poder (to be able to / can) is irregular in El Presente:

| tú | puedes |
| él / ella / Ud. |
puede |
| nosotros / nosotras |
podemos |
| vosotros / vosotras |
podéis |
| ellos / ellas / Uds. |
