- What verb tense is used in this sentence? The students will take a test on Tuesday.
- Rewrite the sentence in a different tense.
Lesson: Today the students did an activity to review verb tenses. We discussed how good writers use the same tense throughout an entire story, which is called maintaining a consistent tense. I shared a short paragraph where the writer did not maintain a consistent tense, and the students had to spot the errors. Then they read The Three Little Pigs in three different tenses.

On a half sheet, they had to explain which tense was used in each story. For a copy of the half sheet, click here.
