用法筆記

Frequently passive: people are usually 'notified' by an organisation, not by a friend. Subject of the active form is typically an institution (a school, a court, an employer, the police). Distinguish from informal 'told' — 'notified' carries an official channel (letter, email, court order).

My friend told me she was coming over.
💡'notify' sounds too formal for friendly chat.
The court notified about the new date.
The court notified us about the new date.
💡'notify' needs an object (the person being told).
