What is the difference between staccato and legato?

Staccato notes sound short and disconnected (there should be a bold dot under the note that's supposed to be staccato) legato is where the notes sound connected and slurred

To remember legato means connected, think your leg is connected to your body. The term staccato (pronounced "stuh-caw-toe") means detached, or separated, notes. Staccato notes have space, or silence, between them ... Legato and staccato simply refer to whether or not a note's length runs into the next note being played.
