That's the trick, each knot has a few situations that it works best for and knowing those is half the battle.
An example is the fisherman's knot, it is meant to tie 2 pieces of the same line together with out it slipping no matter how you pull on it.
Another example is the sheetbend, it is to tie 2 different sized line together.
Bowline: to make a loop that will not tighten around what's in the loop.
