Portuguese Questions (Saber/Conhece) ; Vocês (Eles/Elas)?
How do you know when to use "saber"/"conhece" in sentences?
For example:
"Eu sabem onde fica a lanchonete."
"Eles conhecem quase todos os restaurantes do Rio de Janeiro."
Both verbs mean "to know," but I'm unsure of in what settings I should use each.
Also, what are examples of vocês and eles/elas? The former denotes "You all" and the latter denotes "They," but I'm confused of how to recognize each.
Thanks for all of your help :)
