The 'repeat' block is found within the Control category.

Motion blocks in Scratch are light blue.

The 'Say [message] for 2 seconds' block allows a sprite to display a message bubble with text on the screen.

The 'Forever' block is used to repeat actions continually.

The 'Group' tool in Tinkercad combines multiple shapes into one object, allowing you to treat them as a single unit.
