Past Tense Mastery

Worksheet Description

This engaging worksheet is specially designed for younger learners to practice using the past tense verbs “was” and “were”. The exercise consists of short sentences with missing verbs, prompting students to choose between “was” or “were” to complete each sentence correctly. Here are some tips for students to complete this exercise:

1. Pay attention to the subject of the sentence and think about whether it is singular or plural.
2. Consider the meaning of the sentence and the actions or states being described.
3. Sometimes, the other words in the sentence can provide clues about whether to use “was” or “were.” Pay attention to words like “he,” “she,” “it” (singular) or “they,” “we,” “you” (plural).

4. Remember that “was” is used with singular subjects (e.g., “He was happy”), while “were” is used with plural subjects (e.g., “They were playing”).
