Rewrite the Past

Learners rewrite simple past sentences so they appear in the past continuous tense. Each scene groups two related actions, helping students visualize ongoing events. The activity teaches students to shift verb tense while preserving meaning. This worksheet strengthens understanding of how the progressive past adds detail and emphasizes the duration of actions. Writing each sentence in a new tense supports mastery through transformation. By repeatedly converting forms, students achieve deeper fluency and confidence in using the tense correctly.
