I have some questions. Could anyone answer me ?
1) I missed eating ramen while watching korean variety show.
Does 'missed' in the sentence means I used to miss but I don't miss it anymore (now) ?
2) Actually, I read it last night but I didn't know it was yours.
Should I use 'was' or 'is' in this sentence ?
3) 'I wonder' & 'I wondered'
What is the difference between these two ?
Thanks :3

1: Yes, "to miss" as in "to long for something".
2: Use "was", because the event took place in the past.
3: "I wonder" is commonly a interjection meaning that you're thinking about something. "I wondered" is more of a explanation or a reason.

1) When you write that you "missed" it implies that often you do eat and watch whereas you did not eat while watching this time. You may have had a reason not to eat while watching or you may have simply been unable to eat wile watching.
2) I aggree with the previous answer on this one. Use "was" as the action is in the past.
3) The phrase "I wonder" is present tense. I wonder if I am missing something. The phrase "I wondered" is in the past tense. I wondered why he answered the way he did but he had his reasons.
