Flashback Friday

This worksheet presents present-tense “social media posts” that students must rewrite in the simple past tense. Each sentence describes an event from “Today,” and students must convert it into a flashback statement. This activity helps students understand how verb tense shifts change the timeline of events and how to correctly form both regular and irregular past tense verbs. By rewriting full sentences, learners practice sentence fluency, grammar control, and accurate verb transformation. The worksheet also reinforces everyday vocabulary and strengthens writing clarity.
