Explanation:
The translation of the sentences is:
A) We know that the capital of this country is Santo Domingo.
B) We met this famous singer who has won several awards.
C) I know that Christopher Columbus arrived in Santo Domingo in 1492.
D) I know some traditional dishes.
Although "saber" and "conocer" could be the same verb in English "to know," in Spanish have differences in their use how is below:
- Saber: It is used to mention knowledge about something, that is, information that has been obtained by studying or researching.
- Conocer: It is regularly used to mention that at some point a place has been visited, food that has eaten or interacted with a particular person.
For these reasons, when the name of the capital is narrated or the year in which Columbus arrived there the conjugated verb "saber" is used (because it is knowledge that could be acquired in geography and history class), while when they met the singer or when they tasted the food, the verb "conocer" was used since it required personal experience to know it.
