When working with "saber" and "conocer", please do not waste your time mentally translating each sentence to English. This is not going to help you.
 

Instead:

  • 1. Look at the predicate (what follows the blank) first--this is what tells you whether to use "saber" or "conocer".
     
  • 2. Look at the subject (what precedes the blank) next--this is what tells you how to conjugate the verb you choose.
     
  • Also, make sure you conjugate whatever verb you decide to use  in the present tense. Remember that both present-tense yo-forms of these verbs are irregular: they are "sé" and "conozco".

LIVE SESSION MAKEUP FGC 1121--Topic: saber and conocer

I gave you a text tutorial in Canvas that covers exactly how to use the predicate to choose between "saber" and "conocer". 

 

We are going to review that now together.

 

  • Let's practice this hands-on with exercises from another platform that I use for a different course. (Elegir and ¿Saber o conocer?)
