Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Avoid using the phrase "realized of". Instead, use "realized that" followed by a clause, or use alternatives like "aware of", "conscious of", or "understood that" depending on the intended meaning.
Common error
A common mistake is using the preposition "of" instead of the conjunction "that" after "realized". Always follow "realized" with "that" to introduce a clause expressing what was realized, or restructure your sentence to use "aware of" followed by a noun or gerund.
