Past tenses exercises
Practise the past simple, past continuous and past perfect – the tenses we use to tell stories, sometimes called narrative tenses – with real business examples from meetings, negotiations and project updates.
Quiz
Choose the right tense from two or three options. Every answer comes with a short explanation.
Gap-fill
Type the correct form of the verb. Contractions and full forms are both accepted.
Mixed past tenses
