Contrast of pasts

Hello #Vivers! As you know, our Spanish School is located in the center of Madrid, a few meters from Puerta del Sol. Our classrooms have a maximum of 10 students, and all our teachers are passionate about teaching Spanish. This week with the A2 and B1 groups of our Spanish course for foreigners we have been working on the contrast with the past tenses. With this, we practice oral expression and interaction. If you want to practice the tenses of the past, keep reading and download the worksheet we propose.

The students, in pairs, had to ask questions to their partner and write down the answers. Afterwards, they had to tell the rest of their classmates in a group meeting. For this we have given you the following sheet. The result has been very fun and the students have been able to review the use of past tenses.

We leave you the sheet here, so that both Spanish teachers and students can use it and tell us what you think.
