Hello students, today we will do exercises about simple past tense.
Exercise 1
Read the passage below and underline the verbs in the simple past form.
Vincent Van Gogh is a much-celebrated artist today. He was unknown in his time. He was poor and lived in a cramped room. All he possessed was his easel, paint, brushes, a little money and talent? He used different kinds of lines in his artwork and painted landscapes, still life and portraits. He always signed his paintings. However, he hardly sold any of his works. Vincent lived a sad life. He slowly became insane. He even cut off his ear. Finally, he shot himself in the chest when he was 37 years old. Today, his works, ‘Sunflowers’ and ‘Starry, starry night’ are known as masterpieces. They cost a fortune and often become the focus of attention at exhibitions and auctions.
Exercise 2
Read the passage below, then rewrite it in the simple past tense.
The tsunami victims have to rest at the relief centre because their homes are destroyed. Some of them have serious injuries, and doctors have a busy time treating so many of them. Many victims look lost. They do not have any belonging left. Volunteers come from all parts of the world to help repair the damage to the city. Some volunteers bring money and food from their countries to donate to the victims. For some victims, all the money in the world cannot replace their loved ones. It is a tragedy indeed.
