Five worksheets that take turns through the activities. Pages 1 and 4: students circle the verb in the wrong tense. Pages 2 and 5: students find the verb in the wrong tense and write it in the right one. Page 3: students decide whether the verbs stay in the same tense. Every answer is worked out from the sentences themselves, and the answer keys mark each one.
Have students proofread a short paragraph from their own writing for tense, underlining every verb first.
Tell a story about your day and stop when you hear a verb jump to the wrong time.
Verbs that change tense when they should not, as in "Yesterday the frog hopped and swims." Students find the verb in the wrong tense, fix it, and decide whether the tense stays the same.
