The conversational style of the sentences (Some exercises are actual dialogues, which could make good oral language practice.) in this practice sheet makes it perfect for ELD class or native speakers. The five exercises here encompass regular and irregular verbs, past and present tense, affirmative and negative, and declarative and interrogative forms. Learners fill in the blanks in each sentence using the correct form of the given verb. I'd assign pairs to complete, rehearse, and present to the class.
Practice your speaking skills! Using a chosen visual aid, pupils present a previously written essay to the class.

At the end of the presentation, the speaker answers questions and reviews the purpose.
Learners use the present perfect and present perfect continuous verb tenses by asking questions about a given imaginary biography. For an assessment, they write questions based on the biography that use the target verb tenses.

Linked story map will help guide readers' organization of their presentation; self-assessment checklist would be best used as learners plan their presentations.
