But in reality, Japanese people don't actually say "shiru" or "shirimasu" when speaking. Now I'll explain what you need to say. First, in spoken language, 〜知ってる or 〜知っている is used instead of 知る. And instead of 〜知ります, 〜知ってます or 〜知っています is used. "知っている" is the te-form. The te-form has many functions, and here it describes an ongoing action or current state. For example, I know Yumi. I know Yumi. Next, know, know it. The basic meaning of 知る is to know something you haven't known before. So you can use it when talking about the future. Both forms are often used in formal writing or speech. Here is an example sentence. To know history or to know it. "知る" and "知ります" can be used to form questions. How do you know? or Do you know?
