Explanation
In Italian, the verb "potere" (to be able to) changes its form depending on the subject it refers to. When the subject is singular, like in sentence 1, we use "si può" (si + può) which means "it is possible". When the subject is plural, like in sentence 2, we use "si possono" (si + possono) which also means "it is possible". In sentence 3, the subject is singular, so we use "si può" again. Therefore, the correct answers are "si può" for sentence 1, "si possono" for sentence 2, and "si può" for sentence 3.Rate this question:
