	Anonymous  #508633  Fri, 02 May 08 05:42 PM I'd appreciate it if someone would answer my questions. Thanks in advance. Are the following 2 sentences correct? If so, what's the difference? A:  How did you find that the princess got married? B:  How did you find out that the princess got married?    Anonymous

	Anonymous  #508705  Fri, 02 May 08 09:23 PM Both  sentences seem grammaticaly right to me. The second sentence is more appropriate in the context. Find out = notice, learn... Find=look for sth. and find, dicover    Anonymous

	New2grammar  #509328  Sun, 04 May 08 12:19 PM Incorrect. As the others have pointed out, find out is associated with facts which is what this sentence needs.    New2grammar
