Yo no ________ a nadie en la fiesta de Marcos.I didn't know anyone at Marcos' party. The correct answer is conocía? seems like a contradiction.

Hola Ronald

We need to modify slightly the note in the lesson. When we use conocer in El Pretérito Indefinido (conocí) or El Pretérito Perfecto (he conocido), they mean "to meet". 

Lo conocí ayer.
I met him yesterday.

Lo he conocido esta mañana.
I met him this morning. [lit: I have met him this morning.]

When we use conocer in El Pretérito Imperfecto (conocía) it means "to know". 

Gracias y un saludo

Inma
