Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between know, now, and no?
Know means to have knowledge of something. Now means at this moment. No is a negative answer or refusal.
Is it I don't no or I don't know?
I don't know — knowledge needs the verb know, with its silent k. No is only for negative answers: He said no.
How do I remember know vs now?
Knowledge → know (silent k, like knowledge). This moment → now: Please do your homework now.
