A quick definition of notify:
Notify: To tell someone about something, usually in writing or by some other way that they can understand. For example, if you move to a new address, you need to notify the court or other important people or organizations. Notice is when someone is told about something, either by being directly informed, or by having a legal duty to know about it. There are different types of notice, such as actual notice (when someone is directly told), constructive notice (when someone should have known about something), and public notice (when something is announced to the public).
A more thorough explanation:
Notify means to inform someone about something in writing or by any other means that they can understand. It can also mean to give notice of something or make it known to others.
- "I notified the court of the change in address." - This means that the person informed the court about their change of address.
- "The notice of sale was posted on the courthouse bulletin board." - This means that an announcement about the sale was made and posted on the bulletin board.
These examples illustrate how notify is used to inform or make something known to others.
