📌
Tip: Always check the subject pronoun and conjugate *saber* accordingly:
- yo → sé
- tú → sabes
- él/ella/usted → sabe
- nosotros/as → sabemos
- vosotros/as → sabéis (Spain)
- ellos/ellas/ustedes → saben
In most modern contexts (especially Latin America), you’ll use *saben* for “ustedes” and “ellos/ellas”.
