Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Avoid using the phrase "recognizes of" as it is not grammatically correct in standard English. Instead, use alternatives like "acknowledges the" or "is aware of".
Common error
Don't add "of" after "recognizes" to connect it with the object of recognition. The verb "recognize" directly takes the object without needing "of". For example, say "recognizes the importance" instead of "recognizes of the importance".

Ludwig's WRAP-UP
In summary, the phrase "recognizes of" is grammatically incorrect and should be avoided in written and spoken English. As Ludwig AI indicates, the verb "recognize" does not require the preposition "of" to connect with its object. Correct alternatives include phrases such as "acknowledges the", "is aware of", or "understands the", which effectively convey acknowledgement or understanding. Due to its non-standard usage, "recognizes of" lacks representation in authoritative sources, making its adoption inappropriate across all contexts.
