Hello, Student

Tense Worksheet: Past Tenses Practice

Last Sunday, I visited my grandparents in the village. When I arrived, they were working in the garden. They had planted many flowers earlier that morning, and the place looked beautiful. I noticed that they had been growing vegetables for several months to prepare for the local fair. We spent the whole day together, and I helped them with some chores. While we were having tea in the evening, we talked about old memories and laughed a lot. It truly was a heartwarming day.
