The SSC [ca] is pronounced as in 'casa', [co] as in ‘comer’ and [cu] as in ‘cuerpo.
The modal verb ‘deber’ means ‘must’ and we use it to talk about obligations.
The modal verb ‘poder’ means ‘can/be able to’ and we use it to talk about possibility.
The modal verb ‘querer’ means ‘to want, wanting’ and we use it to talk about what we want to do.
All modal verbs are followed by an infinitive.

The word 'si' means both 'yes' and 'if'.

In Spanish there is a difference between them: 'sí' with an accent means 'yes', and 'si' without an accent means 'if'.
