See your later post, which I saw and answered first.

To determine the correct preterite form of the verbs in your sentence, "saber" and "ir," we need to analyze the conjugation rules for each verb:
1. "Sabio" (to know):
- The preterite conjugation for "saber" is as follows:
- Yo supe
- Tú supiste
- Él/Ella/Usted supo
- Nosotros/Nosotras supimos
- Vosotros/Vosotras supisteis
- Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes supieron
2. "Ir" (to go):
- The preterite conjugation for "ir" is as follows:
- Yo fui
- Tú fuiste
- Él/Ella/Usted fue
- Nosotros/Nosotras fuimos
- Vosotros/Vosotras fuisteis
- Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes fueron
Now let's plug the correct preterite forms into the sentence:
"Anoche mi esposa y yo supimos que Carlos y Eva se van a divorciar."
- Translation: "Last night my wife and I found out that Carlos and Eva are going to get divorced."
Please note that although the phrase "van a divorciarse" is in the present tense, it is used to express a future action. In this case, it means "are going to get divorced."
