Repairing With the Past

Students read a paragraph where several verbs are written in the incorrect tense. Their task is to underline or highlight the errors and then rewrite the entire paragraph using correct simple past tense forms. This encourages students to analyze verb usage, identify inconsistencies, and perform full-paragraph revision. Because the passage includes both correct and incorrect verbs, learners must use critical thinking rather than simply rewriting everything. The activity strengthens editing skills, grammar precision, and understanding of regular and irregular past tense verbs. The writing section allows students to produce a complete, corrected paragraph, reinforcing mastery through application.
