Past Tense worksheet for students to practice rewriting sentences in the past tense.

The task is to rewrite the given sentences in the past tense. Here's how to approach each sentence:

Explanation of Past Tense:

- The past tense is used to describe actions or events that have already happened.
- Regular verbs typically form the past tense by adding -ed (e.g., "play" → "played").
- Irregular verbs have unique past tense forms (e.g., "run" → "ran").
- Modal verbs like "will," "can," and "should" are replaced with their past forms ("would," "could," "should").
