Ago
We use ago after an expression of time
The train went out 10 minutes ago
Ago indicates a finished time and is normally used with a past tense
Say: She telephoned five minutes ago.
Don't say: She has telephoned five minutes ago.
******
The difference between ago and before
Ago is normally used with a simple past to count back from a present moment
Before is used with a past perfect to count back from a past moment.
I saw him two years ago. (two years from now) x
I had seen him two years before I went to England
Before can be used without a time expression to mean 'any time before now/then'. x
I think I have seen him before. x
good luck
