How to understand it?
In "He knew by heart every last minute crack on its nice clean surface. He had made minute crack on its nice clean surface." could you please tell how to understand "He had made minute crack on its nice clean surface"? Thank you!The surface refers to the ceiling.

Answer

"minute" here means "very small." It's pronounced "my-noot' instead of "min-uht"

I think your sentence is probably missing a word somewhere, but it means that the surface was well cared for, and not dirty, and he had made (or created) small cracks in the surface.
