📘 Planning the lesson? Read How to Teach the Past Simple — stages, common mistakes and activity ideas, with the worksheets to use at each step.
Most courses teach the past simple in three steps, and these worksheets follow them: was and were first, then regular -ed verbs with their spelling and pronunciation, then the most common irregular verbs. A2 sheets add time expressions (yesterday, last weekend, ago) and storytelling, and the B1 review contrasts the past simple with the past continuous. Readings are short personal stories, so students have a model before they write their own.
