Knowing in french 🇫🇷

We have two verbs to say knowing, and they’re both extremely used but for two different situations.

SAVOIR = Knowing how to do something, or being aware of something

Je sais lire = I know how to read

Mais je sais = But I know

CONNAÎTRE = Knowing when you’re familiar to something. You should be able to substitute “connaître” with “i’m familiar with”

Je connais ce film = I know (I’m familiar) with this movie

Ils connaissent l’endroit = They know (they are familiar to) the place
