Bonus spells

[Elora]

Quick question about how "bonus spells" work (based on the appropiate ability modifier for a spellcaster)...As a bard with 18 charisma, do I KNOW the bonus spells (for example, instead of knowing 3 2nd level spells, I would know 4 at level 5), or do I just get an extra use/day of the normal amount of spells? I'm under the impression that bonus spells add to the list of known spells, but I could use some clarification. Thanks!

You just get the bonus spells per day. A high key ability score never grants extra spells known (for bards, sorcerers, or anything else).

Thanks for the clarification!
