Step-by-step solution for: Past Present Future - Sort into Categories Worksheet - Quickworksheets
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Past Present Future" that is designed to help students practice using verbs in the past, present, and future tenses. The worksheet includes:
- A word bank with various verbs and verb phrases.
- A table with three columns: Past / before, Present / every day, and Future.
- Instructions at the bottom to write sentences about holidays, daily routines, and future plans.
Since there's no image attached (you mentioned uploading one, but I can't see it), I’ll assume this is the full content of the worksheet based on your description.

The goal is to:
1. Sort the given verbs into the correct tense category: past, present, or future.
2. Write original sentences using the tenses to describe:
- Something done in the past (e.g., during holidays),
- Something done regularly (every day),
- Something planned for the future.

#### Step 1: Sort the Verbs by Tense
Here are the verbs from the word bank sorted into the correct categories:
| Past / before | Present / every day | Future |
|-------------------|--------------------------|------------|
| walked | am going to decide | will think |
| chose | read | will write |
| did | do | will go |
| wrote | am going to read | will farm |
| thought | decided | will choose |
| drove | am going to do | will walk |
| farmed | mine | am going to drive |
| mined | think | am going to write |
| | decide | am going to farm |
| | go | am going to mine |
| | drive | am going to think |
> 📌 Note: Some verbs appear in multiple forms (e.g., "read" = present/past). The key is identifying the form used.
> - "read" (pronounced "red") = past tense
> - "read" (pronounced "reed") = present tense
> But since both forms are listed, we classify them by context.
Let’s refine the list more clearly:

| Past / before | Present / every day | Future |
|-------------------|--------------------------|------------|
| walked | read | will think |
| chose | do | will write |
| did | am going to read | will go |
| wrote | decided | will farm |
| thought | am going to do | will choose |
| drove | am going to decide | will walk |
| farmed | mine | am going to drive |
| mined | think | am going to write |
| | decide | am going to farm |
| | go | am going to mine |
| | drive | am going to think |
| | | am going to choose |
> 💡 Tip: "am going to" + verb = future tense
> "did", "went", "wrote", etc. = past tense
> "do", "read", "think", etc. = present tense
---
#### Step 2: Fill in the Table
Now, place each verb in the correct column. Here's how it would look filled in:
| Past / before | Present / every day | Future |
|-------------------|--------------------------|------------|
| walked | read | will think |
| chose | do | will write |
| did | am going to read | will go |
| wrote | decided | will farm |
| thought | am going to do | will choose |
| drove | am going to decide | will walk |
| farmed | mine | am going to drive |
| mined | think | am going to write |
| | decide | am going to farm |
| | go | am going to mine |
| | drive | am going to think |
| | | am going to choose |
> ✔ You can now fill this table neatly in the worksheet.

#### Step 3: Answer the Writing Prompts
At the bottom, students must write one sentence for each category.
##### Example Answers:
1. Tell me one thing you did on your holidays.
→ I went to the beach last summer.
2. Tell me one thing you do every day.
→ I read a book before bedtime.
3. Tell me one thing you will do in the future.
→ I will travel around the world when I grow up.
> ✏️ Students should use their own experiences and ideas.
