Depends on how you mean. Accurate timing wasn't as important earlier, which meant that getting it a little wrong didn't matter much. And if being a bit wrong doesn't matter, then measuring becomes easier. OTOH, clocks and watches were cruder too. If you really wanted to time an event accurately, it would have been more difficult. Today OTOH, even a basic wristwatch can measure down to the 1/100 of a second. We have both better tools to measure time, but also much greater need to measure time accurately.

What is the past tense of the word 'now'?

There is no past tense of the word "now," because past tense is a verb form that expresses action that has already occurred. "Now" is an adverb, not a verb. Adverbs modify a noun, verb or phrase. For example: In the question "What time is it now?" "now" modifies the noun "time." The antonym (opposite) of "now" is "then."

Is there only now?

Yes. You can only exist in the 'now', in this specific instant. You can think about the 'past' and 'future' but you can not exist or do anything in them. Things that happened in the past affects you in the 'now' and in the 'future'. You can do things in the 'now' that will affect you in the 'future'. So what is the 'now', theoretically it would be the shortest measurable time possible see 'Planck time' in WikiPedia
