One of the first major difficulties that French learners encounter is the difference between the verbs savoir and connaître. The main difficulty between them is that in English they can both be translated as to know. At first glance it’s really difficult to tell the difference between the two because of course there is a little bit of overlap between when and where to use them. The goal of this article is to demystify these two verbs so that you can use them confidently in context. Let’s start off by looking at when and where to use savoir. USING SAVOIR TO KNOW HOW TO DO SOMETHING The first definition of the verb savoir that we are going to go over is how to do something. You’ll be happy to hear that using savoir in this context is actually a bit easier than English. In order to say that you know how to do something all you have to do is use savoir + whatever you know how to do. So for example to say that you know how to drive all you have to do is say Je sais conduire. The reason why this is easier than in English is because we don’t have to add the word how (comment) to the mix, you just have to use the verb to know (savoir) and then the verb that you know how to do. Easy, right? Let’s look at some other examples
