Which one is correct

1- you know.......(sentence) or you know that........

2- Do you know? or Did you know? (when I want to tell about facts or somethings happened)

Thanks

1. "that" can be omitted at the beginning of a relative clause, so both of them are correct.

2." Did you know" is correct when talking about past events. However, I know that the other form can be used in a conversation, but I don't know if it is correct grammatically speaking. So, we'll wait for someone else to answer the question.

Did you know is used about past events. for example last month i went to İstanbul for holiday and my friend ask to you did you know yunus went to istanbul. another example this morning i got up late and i was late school and i say to you do you know i got up late this morning. in my opinion did you know is used old past but do you know is used near past.
