Can you, please, explain why pued-a-s in dudo, que puedas . It sounds so weird. Is it like a if -sentence or smth like that

puedas is the present subjunctive tú form of the verb poder.- see:

It’s used often in phrases conveying or implying doubt or uncertainty - hence the example in this course.

It’s a very common verb form - probably worth memorising/practising; and
is the 1037th most common word in Buchmeier’s Wiktionary Spanish word frequency list (based on subtitles).
