 |
|
Hello teachers,
I would like to know how to use the verb "Know."
"I found this book interesting." This sentence is OK, right?
How about this one?
#1 "I know this book to be interesting."
#2 "I know this book interesting."
According to my dictionary, #1 is acceptable and I would like to know if we can omit "to be" like the sentence #2.
Thanks in advance.

You can say, "I know this book is interesting, but you can't drop the "is". |
