Meaning and form

Use a question word + to-infinitive after know, learn, ask, decide: We learned how to shape clay. Do not add a second subject: not “how we to shape”. A phrasal verb has a verb and particle: find out (discover), look after (care for), pass down (transmit). Learn the whole phrase and whether an object can separate it.

From rule to accurate use

Start with the intended meaning, then identify the subject and verb pattern.

Worked example 1: I do not know how {{1}} this tool. (use)

Answer and reasoning: I do not know how to use this tool. (use) How + to-infinitive follows know.

Worked example 2: We asked the artisan ___ to buy local clay.

Answer and reasoning: where Where asks about a place.

Apply the rule to a new sentence rather than memorising only the answer.
