This video lesson covers one of many irregular verbs in the preterite: saber (to know). Remember that we use this verb for:
1. facts
2. information
3. ‘how to.’
Something about saber though is that like a few other verbs, it changes meaning slightly in the preterite. We’ll go over more on this later but it although you might think it translates to ‘knew’, it actually means ‘found out, learned’.
Please note that saber can also mean ‘to taste‘ in Spanish. This is not mentioned in the video, but should be noted by students.
Ex:
Present: ‘¿Cómo sabe la comida?‘ How does the food taste?
Preterite: ‘¿Cómo supo la comida?‘ How did the food taste?
Enjoy!
