Read your stories out loud. Remember what each person did with the money, and how they feel about it now.
---
remorse: sadness or regret about something you did in the past
---
Present: If the owner can’t find me, he will be unhappy.
Past: If the owner couldn’t find me, he would be unhappy.

*Yesterday I want to buy new shoes. (WRONG because “yesterday” = past)
*Yesterday I wanted to bought new shoes. (WRONG because to + base form)
-> Yesterday I wanted to buy new shoes. (CORRECT)

*Yesterday I don’t find the owner. (WRONG because “yesterday” = past)
*Yesterday I didn’t found the owner. (WRONG because did + base form)
-> Yesterday I didn’t find the owner. (CORRECT)
---
“one day” is a specific day different from today (could be past or future), NOT “a day”
---
I saw that there was $100 in it. (not “were”)
---
*I didn’t know how to do.
-> I didn’t know what to do.

(You do something. You ask, “What should I do?” or “What do you do?”, etc.)
