Update focus: Jumping in puddles - past simple tense quiz

You may have noticed I have been running around like a chicken with no head (English phrase meaning someone with no direction, running very quickly), updating the Wright English website. This week I have added 6 new grammar quizzes to the resources section. My most recent addition is a story quiz for kids about jumping in puddles.

Young people can take the quiz, and read about a fun story of a little girl in Hull that jumps in all the puddles in the streets. She annoys all the adults and has some strange ideas about where the rain comes from. Somehow in typical Wright English fashion this story is not as simple as it first seems! As young people fill out the answers and find out if they are right or wrong, they will get helpful feedback on how to make the past simple tense. They will learn about regular and irregular verbs, as well as how to make negatives, and ask questions in the past simple. The beauty of it is, they will have fun while they do it because they will want to know what is going to happen next in the short, but enjoyably mad grammar adventure.

You can also click here to take the General English version of the quiz, and here to take the Business English version of the quiz. Personally I think the kids version is the most fun!
