the basic difference is that conocer refers to people and places (meaning: to be familiar with) and saber refers to just about everything else (meaning: to know)...

examples: ¿Conoces a Alejandro? or ¿Sabes cómo cocinar?

Hi Welcome to the forum.

Click on "more" above and then on "conjugations" and then enter your 2 verbs.

You will find all the info you need there.

Both mean "to know" but also click on the blue "Full Translation" for more details.
