CONSTRUCTION WITH VERB PHRASE COMPLEMENT OR WITH NOUN CLAUSE 

Some verbs must have an object to make them completely meaningful –

• I know. What do I know?

• I know a new trick.

• I know what you mean.

A new trick is the noun object which completes the sense of the word know –

• I know what you mean.

• I know what to do.
