the Conocer and saber order is correct. I believe they are correct.
To determine whether to use the verb "saber" or "conocer" in Spanish, you need to consider the context and the meaning of the sentence.
12. María knew everyone.
In this sentence, we are talking about María's familiarity or knowledge of people, so we need to use the verb "conocer." The correct form is "conocía."
13. Because he had already seen the movie, he knew what happened?
In this sentence, we are talking about knowing or being familiar with information or facts. So, we need to use the verb "saber." The correct form is "sabía."
14. The student knows the answer.
This sentence is about knowing or being aware of something, so we use the verb "saber." The correct form is "sabe."
15. He knows Bach’s music.
Again, in this sentence, we are talking about knowing or being familiar with something, in this case, Bach's music. So, we use the verb "conocer." The correct form is "conoce."
16. Do you (tú) know who is singing?
In this sentence, we are asking about knowing or being familiar with a person or information. So, we use the verb "saber." The correct form is "sabes."
To choose between "saber" and "conocer," remember that:
- "Saber" is used for knowing or being aware of information, facts, or how to do something.
- "Conocer" is used for knowing or being familiar with people, places, or things.
When in doubt, think about the meaning of the sentence and whether it involves knowing information or being familiar with people or things.
