Saber vs. Conocer

In Spanish, "saber" and "conocer" both translate to "to know," but they have distinct uses. "Saber" is used for knowledge of facts or skills, such as knowing the time or how to play a sport. In contrast, "conocer" is for familiarity with people or places. Usage of the "personal a" follows "conocer" when referring to people. This guide provides examples and clarifications on when to use each verb, enhancing your understanding of their meanings and applications in everyday conversations.
