Review Verb Types with a Digital Game

Understanding verb tense is a foundational literacy skill that supports reading comprehension, writing clarity and overall language development. Yet, as many teachers know, this concept can be tricky for our students to master. They often mix tenses in their writing or struggle to identify when an action occurred.

This digital quiz has been designed by our team to help your students review verb tense in the context of real sentences. Each slide presents students with a sentence written in either past, present or future tense. Students simply click the verb tense that matches the sentence. If students choose the incorrect answer, they are directed to a slide that encourages them to go back and try again. 

The structured repetition helps solidify understanding, while the self-checking element provides immediate feedback to support ongoing learning.
