Today, I went to gym with my friend. I taught him/her how to do exercises to build up back muscles.
After I came back my dorm, I studied English by watching Kung Fu Panda I... but I was wondering about the narration.
In Kung Fu Panda, why does the narrator said "would" like this: “He was so deadly in fact, that his enemies would go blind from overexposure to pure awesomeness.” "Would" means "maybe will" and "past".
Additionally, does the word “that” modify “fact”? (This sentence is very weird.)

(He was so deadly in fact. The fact that his enemies would go blind from overexposure to pure awesomeness.) Right?

Time to sleep. :) Have a nice day, everybody.

him/her - You would choose the object pronoun depending on whether your friend is a man or a woman. For this correction, I assumed that you meant that you taught your friend to do those exercises. In this sentence, the verb "to teach" needs to have an object because you taught something to somebody (i.e., you need to mention who you taught in the sentence).

...do exercise to build up back muscles. - This is a more informal way of saying this than what Frank (the user above) suggested. This is how people would describe this activity if they were talking to their friends or writing in a diary.

Unfortunately I don't know very much about English grammar, but I can try to explain the answer to your question in a non grammar-based way :/

The sentence "He was so deadly in fact, that his enemies would go blind from overexposure to pure awesomeness" kind of means "Actually, he was so deadly that his enemies would go blind from overexposure to pure awesomeness." The "in fact" is used to put emphasis on the fact that he is deadly.

The word "would" is used here to describe an outcome/result in the past tense. When his enemies were exposed to so much awesomeness, they went blind because of it. Them going blind is the result of them being exposed to so much awesomeness.

Today, I went to the gym with my friend. I taught how to exercise for building the muscles of the back.
After I came back to my dorm, I studied English by watching Kung Fu Panda I. However, I was wondering about narration.
In Kung Fu Panda, Why narrator said ‘would’? Like this. “He was so deadly in fact, that his enemies would go blind from overexposure to pure awesomeness.” ‘Would’ means ‘maybe will’ and ‘past’.
Additionally, does word, “that”, modifies “fact”? (This sentence’s very weird)
(He was so deadly in fact. The fact that his enemies would go blind from overexposure to pure awesomeness.) Right? [No]

['That' is used here as a conjunction, not a modifier:

He said that he was going out.   "He said" + "that" + "he was going out."

He was so tall that he had to duck going through doorways.

= Because he was so tall, he had to duck...

Also, 'would' is used to indicate a consequence of some action, either imagined or in the past.]

Hope this helps.]

Time to sleep. :) Have a nice day, everybody.
