Question 4

List the reasons as to why you use conocer over saber

Answer 4

-Used to express acquaintance or familiarity with a person, place, or thing
-When the recipient of the action (direct object) is a person or a pet, an a is used in front of the object. This is known as the a personal and is not translated into English. It is not necessary to use it with the verb tener; however when using the verb conocer to tell that someone knows a person, it is necessary to use the a personal.
