About this resource
Focus on sentence clues when choosing between go, going, and went. Ten written prompts include time references, helper verbs, and familiar expressions that guide the choice. Have students point to the relevant clue before they fill a blank, then reread the full sentence to check its meaning.
Curriculum reference — Ontario: Past and present consistency is relevant; progressive forms and auxiliaries require contextual review. Selected noun or past/present/future verb recognition supports Grade1 grammar; compound rewriting demands may need teacher support. Direct use of past/present including progressive forms is the exact Year2 grammar connection; no inference from grade tags. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
