Two sentences in need of clarity
Hi. How would you interprete these two sentences for the following situations?
Situation 1: Each ball that gets caught gets a point: So the first ball caught is assigned the number "1" and the second ball caught is assigned the number "2" and so on.
Instructions:
"In the game, call out the number (the numbers - OK?) of each ball caught."
Situation 2: The students say this about what they learned today. Does the phrase "the things we did in the past" below with the definite article before the plural noun "things" denote all the things they did in the past? And does the sentence "Today we learned to say things we did in the past" with no article in front of the plural noun "things" denote their learning today some of the things they did in the past? Thank you for your help in advance.
"Today we learned to say the things we did in the past."
