Tenses is the main focus for this Year 5 Which Tense? Prior Learning worksheet, focusing on previous learning about the past and present perfect form to prepare pupils for further work on tenses.

There are three varied fluency, two reasoning and one application question to ensure the children are secure with this knowledge before they move on to using and consolidating a wider variety of tenses.

Suitable for independent, small group or paired work, it can also be used as an informal assessment piece prior to the main lesson or as part of an intervention.
