Difference between ´I recognised ´ and ´I noticed ´
 
Hi guys!

Just have a quick question.

I ´ve a student who asked me a question yesterday:

What is the difference between:

I recognised
I noticed

I know there must be some difference but I just don ´t know what!

Thanks
Sarah

Notice is just to become conscious of something through one of your senses...
I noticed a man in a bright blue suit with orange hair while I was walking home.

I noticed the chef had added a strange new spice to the dish.

Recognise is connected to also knowing the thing...
I noticed a man in a bright blue suit with orange hair while walking home, and when he got closer I recognised it was my brother - he must have taken those drugs he found!!

I noticed the chef had added a strange new spice to the dish, and after a few minutes of chewing I finally recognised the flavour - he had added Dr. Pepper!!
