This may be a stupid question but I'm confused by the position of 'le' in these two examples:
'Non, je ne le savais pas ' and 'Non, je ne sais pas le faire'
From looking at the first example I would have assumed the second sentence would be 'Je ne le sais pas faire' - please can you help?

Position of 'le'
This question relates to:French lesson "Using neuter pronouns le or l' to refer to previously mentioned ideas (French Direct Object Pronouns)"
Asked 4 years ago
If there's an infinitive, le comes just before it. If there's no infinitive, le comes before the first conjugated verb.
Je ne sais pas le faire. -- I don't know how to do it.
Je ne le savais pas. -- I didn't know it.
