Past Perfect Drill

In this worksheet, each simple past sentence must be rewritten using the past perfect tense to emphasize which event happened earlier. Students analyze sentence meaning to determine sequencing, ensuring correct placement of the past perfect verb. Challenge sentences provide more complex scenarios requiring complete rewriting rather than simple verb replacement. This strengthens students’ editing skills and ability to express nuanced time relationships. The focused practice helps develop mastery of the past perfect tense in everyday writing.
