The difference between : ''Savoir'' (Je sais) and Connaitre (Je connais) ! It is quite confusing when to use 'savoir' or 'connaitre'. After reading this it will be very easy to identify whether it is ''savoir'' or ''connaitre'': Very simple !!! When it is about people (les gens), Places (Les lieux) or experience related to work we use 'connaitre'' Example: ()Je connais Mr.Y ()Je connais Paris () Je connais mon travail (Job) However when it is about a thing that we learnt/assimilated, an information received about something/someone it will be ''Je sais'' (Savoir) Examples: () Je sais écrire ( I know how to write) () Je sais où tu habites. (I know where you live) I hope that this was useful for you ''French learners''. Have a nice day ...
