- 1v/nuː/ · /njuː/知道（know 的過去式）
The past tense of know: it says that at some time before now, someone had information about something — a fact, an answer, or what, where, or how something was.
「knew」是 know 的過去式，三態是 know-knew-known（過去式和過去分詞長得不一樣，別搞混）。這一條講的是 know 最基本的那個意思：「腦袋裡有這個資訊」，所以 knew 就是「當時（已經）知道」。可以想成資訊像東西一樣，本來就放在腦袋裡，不是正在被拿進來——所以英文只說 I knew，不說 I was knowing。中文的「知道一件事」和「認識一個人」在英文都用 know，這一條說的是前者。
