Back to back verbs sort of...

#1
Hey everyone i was wondering how you would use "back to back"verbs.
Like this sentence:"I know how to read this character,but i don't know its meaning".
Verbs being know and read,or is know not considered a verb here?...
Idk please help. :)

Most of the time, the notion of "know how to" is expressed with the potential form:

この字は読めるけど、その意味はわからない。

or often you can also use [stem+方がわかる]:

この字の読み方はわかるけど、その意味はわからない。
