When is "de" needed?Look at these sentences: Le roi a la pouvoir. Pour faire de la fusion nucléaire une source d'énergie, il faut que... How come one needs "de" in front of "la", but the other doesn't? Is there some handy rule I can apply?

connaître vs connaitreI was just judged incorrect for suggesting "connait" as the 3rd person present indicative version of the verb (should have been connaît). Now, I often go to fr.wiktionary.org to look up words' meaning and conjugations. It lists two verbs, connaitre and connaître with very similar meaning. Are these two distinct verbs or just two alternative spellings of the same verb?
