Questions & Answers about Nuestra familia va a enterarse de todo.
Why do we use de instead of sobre for "about"?
This is exactly what governed prepositions are all about! The verb enterarse specifically requires the preposition de to mean "to find out about" or "to get the news". While sobre usually translates to "about", you can't use it here because enterarse comes as a package deal with de.
Since "our family" includes us, why is the pronoun se at the end of enterarse instead of nos?
Could I put the se somewhere else in this sentence?
Yes, you have two options! When you have a conjugated verb followed by an infinitive (like va a enterar), the pronoun can either attach to the end of the infinitive to make va a enterarse, or it can jump to the very front before the conjugated verb to make se va a enterar. Both are completely correct and common.
What is the difference between using enterarse de and a verb like saber?
