About this resource
Use time, subject and meaning clues to choose leave, leaves or left in ten sentences.
- Ten context-based sentences
- Three-form choice: leave, leaves, or left
- Routine, past, question, and conditional constructions
Curriculum reference — England: Past/present consistency supports a selected England Year 2 grammar skill; conditional items need contextual checking. 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.
