Announce

Hello,

1.The government yesterday announced to the media plans to create a million new jobs.

I could not understand the meaning of the words in bold. I am able to understand " The government announced to the media to create a million new jobs." But the same time not able to understand "the media plans"

Could anyone explain it?

Thanks.

hanuman_2000 Could anyone explain it? You are parsing it wrong, that is, you are dividing it into parts incorrectly. It's the same as the following: The government announced (that it has) [plans to create a million new jobs] to the media .

What are the differences here with 'can' and 'Could'?

Thanks.

This has nothing to do with your original question about "to the media". Please post it as the beginning of a new thread.
