From the previous text:
Postrīdiē caelum serēnum erat. On the following
day the sky was clear.
Nūper, dum Marcus et Alexander mēcum erant...
Recently, while Mark and Alexander were with me...
Quotā horā paratī eritis? At what time will
you be ready?
Quotā hōrā cēnāre poteritis? At what time will
you be able to have dinner?
The more Latin you read, the more that different tenses will be thrown at you! Here are the irregular verbs sum, esse: be, and possum, posse: to be able in the three tenses covered so far in the posts. You can see that possum, posse is essentially the same verb as sum, esse with pot- or pos- (referring to ability).
