@@Az1Tr0M1z1N4 Hi, just a quick grammatical note in case you are interested in improving your English, "to tell" is an irregular verb meaning it's past tense doesn't form by appending -ed to the verb. Instead the past tense is "told" so in your sentence it would've been "and told me I missed" Hope it helps :)
