Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

It's the subjunctive form of the verb "pouvoir"
In this sentence both, indicative and subjunctive are perfectly fine

#

Indicative is fine in informal circumstances but for the rest I think you should only use the subjunctive in this kind of sentence

#

If this sentence was constructed without the ne ... que construction would it still be more appropriate with the subjunctive?

#

e.g. il y a plusieurs personnes qui puissent nous aider

#

or is the existence of the 'que' what engages the subjunctive in proper, correct french
