Hola,
I just need to understand in this following sentence why 'le explicas' isn't used instead?
Podrías hablar con la jefa y explicarle la situación.
Is it treated as following poder rather than hablar?
Gracias,

Hola Stuart,
Yes, it is following the same structure with "podrías", that's why:
"Podrías hablar con la jefa y [podrías] explicarle la situación."
Saludos
