What’s the difference between a while ago and a few minutes ago?
Without any further context, in my experience it is most likely the phrase “a while ago” means “not recently”. “Have you just bought that big TV?” “No, I bought it a while ago.” If you want an alternative phrase for “a few minutes ago” you could say “a short while ago”.
Why do I forget what I just said?
I say something and only moments later I have no clue what I said. I hate it when others tell me something and I can’t remember it. Often I can’t remember where I put things when I put them down either. It’s frustration because I’m only 20 and this is happening to me.
When to use ” I found out that he had gone “?

Can you use 5 minutes ago in a sentence?
He left 5 minutes ago. One of the {unwritten} rules is, if you don’t need Perfect Tense, don’t use it. He went out five minutes ago. Since the event time is in the past, you can’t use Present tense at all.
