I thinking the 'knowing' of such functions comes not through conscious memorizing, but rather from 'muscle memory' due to repeated use. I've never made a deliberate effort to memorise any such information.

Repetition helps for sure. Combine that with deliberate memorisation (if you are willing to) and you will know a language more quickly. It’s how I like to learn, others will have different ways.
