Past Tense
This worksheet helps learners practice using the past tense to talk about actions that have already happened. In Part 1, learners speak simple sentences aloud with a partner to build fluency. In Part 2, they fill in blanks with the correct past tense forms of verbs and choose the right options to complete sentences. In Part 3, they make their own sentences using given words, applying simple, continuous, perfect, and perfect continuous forms. The aim is to strengthen confidence in describing past events and experiences in everyday communication.
