Discover LudwigThe phrase "ago I realized" is not correct in English and does not convey a clear meaning.
It is typically used incorrectly because "ago" should follow a specific time reference, such as "two days ago," rather than being placed at the beginning of the phrase.
Example: "Two days ago, I realized that I needed to change my routine."
Alternatives: "I realized some time ago" or "I came to this realization earlier."
