"Eles podem conseguir a casa."

Translation: They can get the house.

[mmcclellan]

How might you translate "They can get home" differently?

[Paulenrique]

"Eles podem chegar em casa"

What is the difference between conseguir and poder?
This seems like a strange portuguese sentence to me...

[Paulenrique]

it depends on the context. Poder means can (when you have the ability/permission to do something), may, might, be able to, etc. Conseguir means can (when you have the ability to do something). In this case, poder is a probability. "they may get the house"
