In French, some verbs have similar meanings but are used in different contexts. This deck will teach you how to choose the right verb for what you want to say, focusing on common pairs like 'savoir' and 'connaître'.
Lesson#2
Let's start with 'savoir' versus 'connaître', both meaning 'to know'. Use 'savoir' for facts, information, or skills. If you can say 'I know that...' or 'I know how to...', you should use 'savoir'. For example, 'Je sais où tu habites' means 'I know where you live'.
