How to use saber in the affirmative commands
The tú command of saber is sabe, but it is uncommon. Usted (sepa) and ustedes (sepan) appear more often, usually in formal notices: "Sepa que sus datos están protegidos." In everyday speech, people prefer "que sepas que..." or "tienes que saber..." Negative commands such as "no sepas" are practically never used.
