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

Синонимы
identify (More formal and can be used in technical contexts, but similar in meaning when confirming who or what something is.)
Антонимы
misidentify (Means to identify incorrectly; the opposite of recognising accurately.)

3
Admit something is true
To agree that something is true or important.

to recognise that [clause]
Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes use 'realise' instead of 'recognise' here; 'realise' focuses on becoming aware, while 'recognise' focuses on admitting truth.
Синонимы
accept (Slightly broader; can mean agreeing to take something, not just admitting truth.)
Антонимы
deny (Means to refuse to accept that something is true.)
