"Do you know that woman's name?"
Translation:あの女の人の名前を知っていますか？

I tried "あの女の名前をしりますか", and it said that is wrong, but I'm not sure of the problem. Is it that "女" can't be used as "woman" by itself? Does it have to be "女の人"? Or is the present continuous form of the verb important here? Or both?
As i just learned from another comment section, the continous form is always used when saying you know something.
「その」means the woman is near the person you're asking the question to, and you probably wouldn't want to ask this if she could overhear you!
Saying that, duolingo uses 「その」and 「あの」interchangeably on pretty much every other question...
Me too. Technically they both mean that. Duolingo doesn’t differentiate between that and that over there
Could somebody please explain why I have to use 女の人 instead of just 女? I dont quite understand that
