Three more patterns
-ty → -dad
English abstract nouns ending in -ty become -dad in Spanish. Same word, different costume.
-ous → -oso
Adjectives ending in -ous flip to -oso. (Use -osa for feminine.)
-al → -al
This one's even easier. Words ending in -al stay -al. The spelling barely changes.

I can...
Puedo means "I can". Same pattern — add any infinitive. You can now express ability.
I have to...
Tengo que means "I have to". Note the que — it's required. Same infinitive pattern after it.
