I wonder when verbs like think or know are followed by that; I encountered both forms, is there a difference?
For example,
I know that he did it. // I know he did it.
Are the two sentences both correct?

It is always advisable to wait for a day or two before "accepting" an answer, so more people get to see the question and, perhaps, offer their answers.– KrisCommented Aug 6, 2013 at 14:22
