Step-by-step explanation:

The verb "saber" in Spanish can express knowledge, although in the preterite it can mean "to find out".

Let's see examples:

"Yo se como hacer pastel." --- It implies knowledge.

"¡Lo sabía! - This exclamation is used to give a sense of discovery to a thing.

Next I will write how the verb Saber is conjugated in the present and in the preterite for the different people of Spanish.

Present:

Yo se

Tú sabes

Él / Ella / Usted sabe

Nosotros/as sabemos

Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes saben

Preterite:

Yo sabía

Tú sabías
