can know that-clause

[joham]

When you visit Mexico, you can know that a lot of people wear big hats. This sentence is taken from an English exercise-book written by some Chinese English teachers. I suspect there's something wrong with this sentence. I would say 'When you visit Mexico, you can see a lot of people wear big hats.' Am I right?

'When you visit Mexico, you can see a lot of people wear big hats.'

I'd use "wearing" there.

Please always tell us the name of the book and the authors, joham.
