Preterite imperfect clue words activity (Spanish)

In this activity, students will be given 20 sentences in the preterite and imperfect tenses. They will have to choose the appropriate clue word (Anoche, Cada tarde etc) to match it with the sentence. Next to each sentence, students will have to write P if the sentence is preterite or I if it is imperfect. This is a good review activity before a test or quiz and can also be used as an entry/exit slip.

*Clue words can be used in any order as long as they match the verb tense (Preterit or Imperfect).
