Past Tense - Gave or Given
This KS1 English and Literacy quiz takes a look at the words gave and given. This quiz helps children know how to use both terms and teaches them the helping words when using ‘given’. The National Curriculum states that Key Stage 1 children should be able to use past tense words correctly and this quiz will aid that learning, along with an all-round improvement in their literacy and English language.
If I give you something, I give it to you now. However, if I gave you something, it happened in the past. We could also say it was given to you. Test your knowledge on the words ‘given’ and ‘gave’.
