About Simple Present vs Simple Past
The simple present describes habits, routines, and general facts (e.g., “She walks to school every day”), while the simple past describes completed actions at a specific point in the past (e.g., “She walked to school yesterday”). Mixing the two up is one of the most common grammar mistakes English learners make, which is exactly what this simple present or simple past grammar quiz is designed to help you fix. For a full grammar reference, see the Cambridge Dictionary grammar guide.
Tip Before You Start
Look for time markers in each sentence. Words like “always,” “usually,” and “every day” signal the simple present, while words like “yesterday,” “last week,” and “ago” signal the simple past. Spotting these clues first will make the quiz much easier.
