Tu sais, le célèbre couturier ?  Why is "sais" used rather than "connaiss”? I thought:  Savoir means "to know a fact", while connaître means to know a person or to be familiar with a person, place or thing.  Merci!

What is the difference between pour and de l'ordre à?

I seem to remember having learned that the partitive article is not used to introduce the subject of a sentence.  Please comment. 

good reading exercise for young readers 

Hi -

I was  trying to work out how you would say 'if the weather is good, we can take a walk in the park'. From the above it looks I can either use Se Promener or Faire une Promenade, but im not sure how to combine these with Pouvoir. I assume using 'Faire' it would be:

-s'il fait beau, nous pouvons faire une promenade dans le parc.

1) Is this correct?

2) Is there a way of saying this using the reflexive verb/conjugation with se promoner?

Thank you :) 

It would be so helpful if we could slow down the reading of the test and to repeat a phrase

Just wondering if "le repas du midi" is indeed correct for the midday meal? (I thought that it was "le repas de midi", but maybe they are both correct?)

Hello,

I don't see any mention of how to conjugate verbs with these pronouns? Do you always assume they are singular + masculin ? Or are there any special cases (I can't think of one so I'm asking in case somebody knows)?

Thank you.
