Simple past

Hi, everybody! Here you have some exercises to practise past simple tense. I'll try to add some more things for you but remember you can do find a lot of material on internet. Just remember to use ESL and you'll see what happens. For example: simple past+ESL in Google can give you a lot of pages to work with. Have a try!
See you on Monday. Happy holiday and congratulations to all the mums!

Web pages to work with:
