I know that you did ___ . --> わたしはあなたが ___ したことを(or したのを/ したということを)しっています。 I know that you did that. --> わたしはあなたがそれをしたことをしっています。 I know = わたしはしっています that = のを、ことを、というのを、ということを、etc (*we have various translation for that "that" and we have to choose one of them thinking the whole sentence. Also it depends on the person, the verbs, the formality of the sentence, etc.) you did that = あなたがそれをした I know that you like that person. --> わたしはあなたがそのひとをすきだということをしっています。 *I think that you like that person. --> わたしはあなたがそのひとをすきだとおもいます。 I hope this was helpful.
