😕🤕 Verb confusion🤕😕
(Know, Learn, Study and take)

💎 know is used to show that you have memorized something or that you are certain of something :
🔅I know all of the irregular verbs.

▪️know described a state, not an activity ( not I'm trying to know my irregular verbs. )

▪️we can't use it in the continuous form (not I'm knowing my irregular verbs.)

💎 Learn describes an activity.
We learn facts when we try to memorize them.
🔅I am learning irregular verbs for the test.

▪️we can also learn a skill:
🔅I'm learning to play the piano.

▪️we can't use learn by itself ( not I'm learning for the test. )


💎 Study is usually used to talk about a whole subject area rather than individual skills or facts:
🔅my daughter is studying economics at university. (not I am studying how to play the piano. )

▪️We can use study by itself:
🔅I'm studying for the test on Friday

‼️Note that we can say learn about not study about:
🔅We are learning about World War I this term.
(not we are studying about)

💎 Take can be be used in a similar way to study to refer to subject area :
🔅I am taking a course in Marketing.

▪️it's also used to refer to the individual subjects within a course :
🔅I have to take at least 3 marketing subjects to get the diploma.
