Common mistake with using the verb savoir

Having spoken about the differences between savoir and connaƮtre, there is a common mistake with the verb savoir. This is a mistake between most english speakers! Some english speakers might think that (comment) might go between savoir+infinitive, but it doesn't!


Wrong way: Je ne sais pas comment nager


Correct way: Je ne sais pas nager

meaning in english : I don't know how to swim



Remember comment can be used after the verb conguated verb savoir!


Je sais comment sa soeur entre la chambre

meaning in english: I know how his sister enters the room
