Très or Vraiment

When do I use très and when do I use vraiment in the context of "very"? I've seen both words used for "very". Also, with the verb "pouvoir", when would I use "puis" versus "peux" with the pronoun "je"?

Vraiment is more like "really" while très is "very", so it's more like gradations of the verb. Regarding "puis" versus "peux", I believe the difference is that "puis" is primarily used in question form (puis-je), especially when followed by a verb.

Bonjour, Yes that is right, 'puis' is the alternative first person singular form of 'pouvoir' to 'peux'. It is uniquely used in questions as toru rightly said above. Keep up the good work! - Marie-Claire
