Realize

Hello

Would you help me with this expression?
#1 Then he realized that he had made a big mistake.

I'd like to know how to express instead of using the word " realize."

#2 Then he found that he had made a big mistake.
Can I rewrite #1 to #2?

Would you give me other expressions?

Thank you.
