Yesterday’s Market Answer Key

In this worksheet, students read a short passage written entirely in the present tense and must rewrite it in the simple past tense. The story describes Emma’s trip to the market with her father, and students convert every verb to reflect an event that already happened. This requires careful attention to both regular and irregular past tense forms. The extended writing space allows for rewriting the full passage, promoting accuracy, fluency, and sustained grammar application. Students strengthen reading comprehension by understanding sequence and meaning while adjusting all verb forms consistently.
