French · Chapter 4 · Lesson 10 · Common mistake
savoir or connaître?
Both are to know. French has no article on this, so this is where the course draws the line.
The rule
savoir is knowing a FACT, or knowing HOW to do something. connaitre is being acquainted with a PERSON or a PLACE. You savoir the answer; you connaitre the city. Only savoir can be followed by an infinitive.
