Conocer Present Practice

Conocer (to know (people, places)) in the present: 14 free exercises with an explanation after every answer, plus the full conjugation table.

14 exercisesIrregular yoA1 – A2 level
IWhat to watch for

In the present tense, conocer is regular in every form except one: the yo form slips in -zc- to give conozco. The rest follow the normal -er pattern — conoces, conoce, conocemos, conocen.

The classic mistake is writing conoco. Remember also that conocer takes the personal a before people (conozco a Marta) but not before places: conozco Bogotá.
