Past, present, or future? Fill in the blanks with the correct verb tense in this English grammar worksheet.

To solve this worksheet, we need to look at the time words in each sentence (like "yesterday," "tomorrow," or "always") to decide which verb tense to use.

Here is the step-by-step logic for each question:

1. "I always...": The word "always" means this happens regularly. We use the Present Simple tense.
* Verb: send $\rightarrow$ send
2. "Last year...": This happened in the past. We use the Past Simple tense.
* Verb: visit $\rightarrow$ visited
3. "Next year...": This will happen in the future. We usually use "will" + verb.
* Verb: go $\rightarrow$ will go
4. "Last weekend...": This is in the past. Both actions happened then.
* Verb: go $\rightarrow$ went
* Verb: buy $\rightarrow$ bought
5. "Later today...": This is a plan for the near future. We can use "will" or "is going to". Since it's a specific plan, "is going to take" is very common, but "will take" is also correct for simple future prediction. Let's stick with the standard future form often taught at this level: will take (or *is going to take*). *Self-correction: In mixed exercises like this, "will" is the safest bet for general future unless "going to" is explicitly requested.* Let's use will take.
6. "Two years ago...": This is in the past.
* Verb: take $\rightarrow$ took
7. "Tomorrow...": This is in the future.
* Verb: buy $\rightarrow$ will buy
8. "When I travel I usually...": "Usually" indicates a habit. Present Simple.
* Verb: bring $\rightarrow$ bring
9. "Tomorrow...": Future.
* Verb: drive $\rightarrow$ will drive
10. "Last summer...": Past.
* Verb: take $\rightarrow$ took
11. "I often...": "Often" indicates a habit. Present Simple.
* Verb: see $\rightarrow$ see
12. "Tomorrow...": Future.
* Verb: wake up $\rightarrow$ will wake up
13. "After breakfast we...": This sentence lacks a specific time marker like "tomorrow" or "yesterday." However, looking at the context of the other questions, if it's a general routine, it would be present. If it's part of a story about tomorrow (like Q12), it might be future. Without a time word, Present Simple is the standard default for general statements, OR it could be part of a sequence. Let's look closer. "After breakfast we [go] to the art museum." It feels like a schedule. Often, schedules use Present Simple ("The train leaves at 5"). But for personal plans, "are going to" or "will" is used. Given the simplicity of the other answers, if this is a general fact about what they do after breakfast, it's go. If it implies "tomorrow morning," it's will go. Let's assume it's a general routine similar to Q8 and Q14 because there is no "tomorrow" attached to it.
* *Alternative View*: In many worksheets, if a sentence stands alone without a time marker, it's often Present Simple. Let's stick with go.
14. "I always...": Habit. Present Simple.
* Verb: look $\rightarrow$ look
15. "Last night...": Past.
* Verb: talk $\rightarrow$ talked
16. "Sometimes...": Habit. Present Simple.
* Verb: forget $\rightarrow$ forget
17. "Tomorrow...": Future. Two blanks.
* Verb: go $\rightarrow$ will go
* Verb: send $\rightarrow$ will send
18. "I usually...": Habit. Present Simple.
* Verb: listen $\rightarrow$ listen
