Verb Quiz

On November 30, you will have a verb tense quiz. You will be responsible for studying the material online. A practice quiz can be found here: http://esl.about.com/library/quiz/bl_pastorperfect1.htm. The in-class exam will use the same format as the practice test (but different questions). If you take this practice test (30 questions) and study the answers at the end, you should be able to attain a perfect score in the class quiz.

Additionally, I would recommend reading the following two review pages. Pay attention to the past tense forms used in the dialogue:
