Now, I know we've already had a verb for to know in French.
And that was savoir.
Well, there are two verbs for to know in French, and their meanings are ever so slightly different.
So savoir means to know a fact.
Quneitra means to know a person, a place or a thing.
So the reason I've put a fact in, quote, Marx is because a fact can be a variety of things.
If you said, I know where it is, the fact of where it is means you have to use savoir.
Whereas I know Pierre well you would use cornet because Pierre is a person.
So some examples are Josep Conti, le parti junior, say pas con le parti.
I don't know when he left.
So that's a fact.
Pierre.

I would just say that a general rule of thumb is that if you use a question word so that could be cur
meaning what?
Com meaning when key meaning who or whom?
Boca meaning y common.
How common?
How many or kel meaning which.
So if you use a question word the word that or the word if after no in your sentence, then you should
use savoir because you're introducing a fact.
If you use a name of a person, place or thing, you should use contra.
