Why custom tense cards beat a printable worksheet

Printable verb tense worksheets are easy to find, but they rarely match the tenses your teacher actually covered. DeckOwl builds verb tense flashcards from your own material, so the answers line up with your class. Upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX or a photo of a handout, and the AI reads the text and turns each rule and example into a card.

Front shows a sentence with a blank; back gives the correct verb form and why it fits.
Covers simple, continuous, perfect and perfect continuous tenses drawn from your notes.
Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages.
Study free in the browser; PDF and Anki export are included on Plus.

Example English tense flashcards with answers

Form the past perfect of 'to write' for 'I'.I had written. Use had plus the past participle for an action completed before another past action.

Yesterday we ___ to the lab. (go)went. This is the irregular simple past, so no auxiliary verb is needed.

Right now I ___ at the library. (study)am studying. The present continuous describes an action in progress at the moment of speaking.

By June, she ___. (graduate)will have graduated. The future perfect shows an action finished before a future point in time.

I was reading when the phone ___.rang. A simple past action interrupts an action already in progress in the past continuous.

Answers on every card

Each back gives the correct verb form and a short reason, so you learn why a tense fits, not just the word.

Built from your material

Works from PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages, so the cards follow your teacher's examples and chapters.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, so irregular past forms and tricky perfect tenses get more practice than the ones you already know.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slides, a DOCX or a photo of a handout. Text recognition reads the page for you.

Generate your cards

The AI turns rules and example sentences into flashcards with the verb form and answer on the back.

Study on a schedule

Review in the browser on the free plan, or export to PDF or Anki on Plus when you want a printed set.

Each card is built for recall rather than recognition. Spaced repetition brings back the forms you miss more often, so irregular past tenses and perfect forms get more practice than the ones you already know.

Frequently asked questions

How many tenses should I memorize before a grammar test?

Most introductory English courses cover the 12 standard tenses, grouped as present, past and future with simple, continuous, perfect and perfect continuous forms. Start with the simple and continuous forms, then add the perfect tenses once those feel automatic.

What is the best way to practice verb tenses with flashcards?

Put the sentence context on the front and the verb form on the back, so you practice choosing the tense rather than only conjugating. Review the cards you miss more often and let the ones you know come up less frequently.

Can I export these tense flashcards to PDF?

Yes, PDF export is included on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study the cards in your browser, with 3 generations per month.
