Simple Past and Present Perfect Quiz

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Print this quiz to assess your kids and their understanding of the simple past and present perfect tenses. In the first exercise, learners complete the questions using either tense. (One of the questions has a spelling error-fix this before distribution.) Then, in the second exercise, they must put the words in the correct order. To finish, they answer questions using both tenses.
