Describe in English the difference between the Spanish verbs “conocer” and “saber.” Use each verb in a sentence in Spanish

Answer 1

The verb "conocer" in Spanish means "to be familiar with" or "to know someone or something." It is used to express knowing a person, a place, or being acquainted with something.

Example sentence in Spanish: Conozco a María desde hace muchos años. (I have known María for many years.)

On the other hand, the verb "saber" in Spanish means "to know" or "to have knowledge about something." It is used to express having the information or being aware of a fact or how to do something.

Example sentence in Spanish: Sé cómo llegar a la estación de tren. (I know how to get to the train station.)
