Review the chart regularly and provide examples of sentences in each tense. b. Sentence Transformation: Provide students with sentences in one tense and ask them to transform them into other tenses. This will help them practice using different tenses correctly. c. Story Writing: Assign students to write short stories using different tenses. This will allow them to practice using tenses in context and develop their storytelling skills.
