Both conocer and saber mean "to know" but not in the same sense and they are not interchangeable.
Saber is to know information, a fact = either knowledge or ignorance about something.
Conocer is to be or not to be acquainted with a person, place or thing.
Yo sé dónde está Susana. = I know where Susan is.
Yo conozco a Susana. = I know (have met) Susana.

I'm learning about the irregular verbs "Conocer" and "Saber"
The teacher told us how to differentiate between the two and when to use which.
But I still find it very difficult to know when to use which one.
Can anyone help? Are there any tricks or tips that will help?
Muchas Gracias!

Saber lo vas a usar cuando haces una pregunta por ejemplo: Quisiera saber cuando entras a la universidad.
Conocer lo vas a usar por ejemplo cuando tambien haces preguntas Quisiera conocer a tu verdaderos padres?
