'Je ne peux pas entendre' versus 'Je n'entends pas' . Do these 2 sentences translate differently as the 1st indicates there is an external reason for not hearing (music too soft), while the 2nd indicates an inherent hearing loss  (deafness)? Does this apply to other Modal verbs? If so, examples really help with understanding. Thanks in advance.

Hello, 

I'd like to know Why am I not able to control the player or why are there no player controls for the audio? Or is this intentional that I must listen through the whole exercise without being able to playback a particular section? 

Thank you.

When do you know that this object is a direct object or indirect object.

 Il se lave does that become se lave-t-il?  And while we're at it, il adore becomes adore-t-il, but il t'adore becomes  t'il -t-adore??

I think in this context the dad was getting annoyed of the kids fighting each other. Therefore "j'en ai marre" can be appropriate. 

C'est quoi la difference entre "des patates" et "des pommes de terre"? 

What is the difference of  "savoir" and "connaître"? They both mean "to know", right? When should I use which one?
