Spanish Preterite Tense Practice Worksheet

A Spanish preterite tense worksheet suitable for a range of year groups, designed to give students extended grammar practice with regular -AR, -ER and -IR verbs in the past tense.

The resource begins with a clear preterite tense table, followed by a short gap-fill explanation of how the tense is formed. Students then complete 25 translation-style conjugation questions, practising key verbs such as comprar, bailar, nadar, escribir, vivir, ir, ver, comer, beber and hablar.

This could be used as:

• extended grammar practice
• a revision worksheet
• cover work
• a homework task
• a starter or recap activity
• independent practice after teaching the preterite tense

Students can complete the worksheet independently, then self-assess or correct in green pen. It is particularly useful for reinforcing preterite endings, building accuracy and improving confidence with past-tense verbs in Spanish.
