Discover LudwigThe phrase "ago we know" is not correct and does not make sense in written English.
It seems to be an incomplete thought or a misphrasing, as "ago" typically refers to a point in time in the past and does not logically connect with "we know."
Example: "Years ago, we know that the world was different."
Alternatives: "in the past, we know" or "previously, we know".
