Preterite Aspect

When 'conocer' is used in the Preterite ('conocimos'), it usually means the beginning of the knowing process: 'we started to know' or 'we discovered/visited.' If you want to say 'we already knew' (for an extended time), you should use the Imperfect ('conocíamos').

Mistake:Thinking 'conocimos' only means 'we knew' (a state).

Correction: In the simple past (Preterite), 'conocimos' often implies the action of 'finding out' or 'gaining knowledge' (We found out the truth; We visited the place for the first time).
