Questions
How do the games handle ser and estar both meaning to be?
They never appear as two options for one prompt. When to be comes up, the prompt is labelled, either what something is or where and how something is, so only one answer is correct.
Saber or conhecer?
Saber is knowing a fact or knowing how to do something. Conhecer is knowing a person or a place. Both are in the set, and English collapsing them into know is why the split has to be drilled.
Are these conjugated?
No. The games use the infinitive, the form you would find in a dictionary. Conjugation is a lesson topic; this is a vocabulary drill.
