Back to the past race...

Hello!

As you know we are working hard on the PAST SIMPLE. You're doing great and I'm more than happy with your work about it.

To keep practicing I leave here the link to 11 Google Forms in which you can keep practicing with the PAST SIMPLE.

They are 11, so the idea is that you do 2 or 3 forms per week. You will start with form number 1 (the easiest one) and you will finish with level 11 (the hardest).

You already know a lot about the PAST SIMPLE so I'm sure you will find all these forms pretty easy. Each form won't take you more than 10 minutes and they will help you a lot to keep improving with the use of this tense.

Are you ready to level UP??
