Writing Practice:
Following the crossword, have your
students write a story in the past tense
by using as many of the past tense verbs
as they can. You might want to stimulate
ideas by providing a title (for example: My
Day at the Beach or My Last Weekend,
etc.).

(1) brought
(4) forgot
(6) knew
(9) sent
(11) stood
(12) read
(15) made
(17) drew
(22) spent
(23) caught
(25) flew
(27) were
(28) drove

Speaking Practice:
Alternatively, have your students sit together
in small groups; each student takes a turn
and uses a past tense verb to make a sentence
that, put together with their partners
sentences, tells a story.

Down words:
(1) broke
(2) thought
(3) went
(5) took
