Can I use "I sensed" meaning "I noticed" as synonyms in this phrase?
Example:
I noticed/sensed something was going on when my father said that my mother wasn't going to come home that night.
Here's the meaning of both words according to www.dictionary.com:
Sense
a feeling or perception produced through the organs of touch, taste, etc., or resulting from a particular condition of some part of the body
Notice
to perceive; become aware of
Sense and Notice have very close meanings in many contexts, but sometimes they are completely different from each other depending on context. I just need to know whether it is possible to use both words interchangeably in the example phrase I wrote.
