Grammar: Past simple practice

A lot of students make mistakes with the past simple tense. They don't remember which verbs are regular and irregular. They don't remember how to make negative sentences and they don't remember how to make questions.

Listening and Reading

Here is a story you can read and listen to:

https://elt.oup.com/student/englishforlife/elem/b_stories?cc=us&selLanguage=en

You can listen to the story and write the missing words.

You can read the complete story and listen at the same time. You can read aloud while you listen. This will help you improve your pronunciation and your reading speed.

You can listen to or read the story and then write the story from memory. How much do you remember? You can use the pictures to help you. Then give your writing to the teacher in the study centre and they will check it for you.
