How to Use This Pack

Five worksheets that take turns through the activities. Pages 1 and 4: students write the verb in the box in the tense the time words ask for. Pages 2 and 5: students name the tense of the underlined verb. Page 3: students circle the verb that fits the time words. Every answer is worked out from the sentences themselves, and the answer keys mark each one.

At Home

At dinner, tell one thing that happened today, one thing that happens every day, and one thing that will happen tomorrow.

Tips for Success

  • Yesterday: past (hopped)
