Give children the opportunity to master their knowledge of tenses with this Year 2 Recognising Simple Past and Present Tenses Application and Reasoning worksheet. Each of the three differentiated levels contains two application and four reasoning questions to complete. Children will match sentences to the correct tense, recognise a mistake and explain whether a sentence uses the simple past or simple present tense.

Use the answer sheet to make marking a breeze, or to support peer and self-marking in your class.
