1
Identify from previous knowledge
To know a person or thing because you saw or heard them before.
Pola penggunaan:
to recognise [someone/something]

Learners sometimes confuse 'recognise' with 'realise'. 'Recognise' means to identify from memory; 'realise' means to become aware of something.
Sinonim
identify (More formal and can be used in technical contexts, but similar in meaning when confirming who or what something is.)
Antonim
misidentify (Means to identify incorrectly; the opposite of recognising accurately.)
