✕Common Mistakes
Cómo puedes ver aquí...
The accent turns it into a question word. In this statement you need the conjunction 'Como' without an accent.
Como puede ver aquí...
Using the third‑person form changes the subject to 'he/she/it'. Keep 'puedes' when addressing the listener directly.
Como puedes ver allí...
If you want to refer to something previously mentioned rather than something physically present, use 'allí' (there) instead of 'aquí' (here).

Cultural Tip
In Spanish presentations, 'Como puedes ver aquí…' is perfectly acceptable in both formal and informal settings. However, in very formal business contexts you might prefer the more impersonal 'Como se puede ver aquí…' to keep the tone neutral. Remember that 'Cómo' with an accent is only used in questions (e.g., '¿Cómo puedes ver?'), so avoid the accent in this declarative phrase.
