Each class has a different way of gaining and using magic, and the fact that they don't prepare spells doesn't mean they cast intuitively. Eldritch Knights and Arcane Tricksters learn their spells through study; they just don't have as much time to spend on the subject as a Wizard. Clerics prepare spells but study has nothing to do with how they cast; their deity grants them their spells. This answer seems to be based on previous edition rules (3.5?) | |

I asked if a caster knows how much time is left until a spell expires. It's the difference between knowing how long an egg takes to cook, and how much longer it has to cook after an indeterminate amount of time has passed | |
