hi dad, i know the correct term , i just need to know why " ive been knowing him for 2 years " is not the correct grammer, in a bit more detail. i got a class next week and need to expalin the reason why

[Denizkina]

i think " to know" is one of "non-continious" verbs. that's why one can't say "I have been knowing him...etc".
neither you can say "I'm knowing" . The right choise is "I know"

Good day, everyone:)

How to ask it correct: 'Does it worth it' vs 'Is it worth it'?

Thanks
