Where does KNOW come up in conversation?
KNOW starts sentences constantly: knowing a person, knowing a fact, admitting you do not know. The negative form is one of the most used phrases in any beginner’s toolkit, right beside the affirmative. Small talk leans on it too, from do-you-know-her to who-knew, so it repays early practice.
It arrives in Lesson 17, in Book 1’s thinking vocabulary.
