Cultural Tip
In everyday French, the non‑inverted word order (Comment je peux…) is perfectly natural, especially among friends. In a more formal setting—like speaking to a trainer you don’t know well—use the inverted form: « Comment puis‑je m'entraîner davantage ? ». Also, “plus” after the verb sounds casual; “davantage” or “plus intensément” adds a touch of formality.
