NOTE: Please noti e that when the
verb conocer is used 0 express
familiarity with a person, the personal"a"
is used directly in fron of the person.
This small word does not translate into
English in these situatIons, and has no
English equivalent. N9w, you might ask,
"Well, why do they us, it there?" My
answer is simply this, iNo se! (I don't
know!) But, they say i~ this way, so we
have to go along with it. See R 45 for
more details.
