Can Faire also be used with musical instruments similar to Jouer? Like -
- Je fais du violon.
- Je fais de la guitare.
- Je fais de la flûte.
Can Faire & Jouer be used interchangeably with musical instruments? Or is there any exception to this?
Based on the last example ("Oui, je le veux"), why can't you, in the first example, simply use the same construction, and say "Non, je ne le sais pas"?
In other words, when do you add in "le faire"? Is there a rule??
OK. I see that this has been asked and answered below. I still think that you could use either construction: (a) Non, je ne le sais pas. (b) Non, je ne sais pas le faire.
Similarly, it looks as if you can use both forms with the first example too: (a) Non, je ne sais pas le faire. (b) Non, je ne le sais pas.

Bonjour, I wrote 'Sonia va s'occuper de vous' and it was marked wrong and replaced with 'Sonia va prendre soin de vous' and yet in the replay s'occuper is used which is puzzling.
« que je me souvienne... »
Il est évident que le verbe est au subjonctif, mais pour quelle raison ? Je ne le comprends pas.
Quelqu'un peut m'aider ?
Are there any other times apart from the negative (saying you don’t have any), when de is used eg d’huile, de pan. I know we say de also before plural nouns with an adjectives preceding the noun
Since épinards starts with a vowel why is it not d’épinards? Or is it always des when referring to some? Can you help me figure out when we use d’ as opposed to des?
