COMPLETE PRESENT TENSE VERB REVIEW

I made this worksheet to help the students with reading comprehension passages related to historical fiction and grammar drill - passive voice (introduction - present and past passive voice). This worksheet is based on Cambridge Curriculum for upper primary students. Hopefully, by doing this worksheet, students will be able to answer the questions using context clues, and their own schema to infer what the author is talking about - therefore making conclusions on what the passage is about. 

For passive voice practice, students will be able to know the difference between the present and past passive voice.

Lastly, I hope this worksheet will help. Please give me a credit if you are using my work in your classroom. :) Have a great day, teachers!
