Here is the sentence:
Bryan had had enough of his sister's loud
stereo and bad taste in music, so he went
to her room, banged on the door, and teld
Melissa that if she didn't reduce the volume, then he would return with
his baseball bat and pound her boom box into little bits.
The third verb, teld, is the problem. As you know, the sentence requires the simple past. Told is the correctly spelled form.
