She knows in French 🇫🇷

elle sait info.

To remember the French word “sait,” which is the third person singular present tense form of “savoir,” think of the English word “sage,” which refers to someone wise or knowledgeable – both share the root of “knowing.” When you think of “she knows” in French, picture a sage woman, full of knowledge, to link “elle sait.”

The verb “savoir” means “to know,” specifically in the sense of knowing a fact or knowing how to do something. Other words with a similar meaning include “connaître,” which is used for knowing people or being familiar with something.

“Savoir” is an irregular verb, so its conjugations are unique and must be memorized:

– Infinitif: savoir (to know)
– Présent: je sais (I know), tu sais (you know, singular informal), il/elle sait (he/she knows), nous savons (we know), vous savez (you know, singular formal or plural), ils/elles savent (they know)
– Imparfait: je savais (I knew), etc.
– Passé composé: j’ai su (I have known), etc.
– Futur simple: je saurai (I will know), etc.
– Conditionnel: je saurais (I would know), etc.

Examples in sentences:
– Elle sait répondre à toutes les questions. (She knows how to answer all the questions.)
– Il ne sait pas où il a mis ses clés. (He doesn’t know where he put his keys.)
– Nous saurons bientôt si notre proposition a été acceptée. (We will soon know if our proposal has been accepted.)
– Saviez-vous que Lucie habite maintenant à Paris? (Did you know that Lucie now lives in Paris?)
– Si je savais nager, je plongerais dans la rivière. (If I knew how to swim, I would dive into the river.)
