I found this forum from Google when I was searching for an answer of my English language question about grammar.
Recently, I need to write a lot of English for my job but my English level is not that good,
I am so happy that I can ask and learn more here!

I am writing English content of a leftlet and I have an question.
It would be great if someone can answer me! :-D

Should I write
"We know SVO"
or
"We know that SVO"?

For example,
"We know you are a student"
"We know your house is big"
or
"We know that you are a student"
"We know that your house is big"

which one is correct or both can be used?
I'm a little confused!

In your examples, all 4 would be correct with proper punctuation.
 
Note that it's "leaflet" (not "leftlet") and "a question" (not "an question").

Hello, leon0021.:-D
Welcome to UsingEnglish.com.

I think it's 'SVC', not 'SVO'.
:-D

Thanks! But what do you mean by proper punctuation?
Sorry I'm stupid.:cry:

Note that it's "leaflet" (not "leftlet") and "a question" (not "an question").

Thanks for reminding me!:-D

Thanks for your corrections!
I haven't used English for a very long time, my grammar become very bad now:-(
(English is my second language, I'm from Hong Kong)
But recently my boss wants me to write the English content of a leaflet, and I found that I have poor English...

No, you're not stupid (you need to cheer up a bit :up:). Mike was just reminding you that all sentences must end with a proper punctuation mark. Some of yours ended with a question mark, which is OK. The others need full stops, as you can see by Rover's corrections.

PS: You will get used to such comments with time. Note that they are not meant to discourage you, but to help you learn and remember the best way to use written English.
