| Explanation | When talking informally about how much someone knows about something, use the verb know (NOT have ... knowledge ): 'I don't know anything at all about computers.' 'Talk to Pam. She knows a lot about horses.' Have ... knowledge is mainly used in formal styles when you give precise details of what someone knows: 'Tucker has an excellent knowledge of Sri Lankan tea plantations.' |
