Turn your grammar notes into a simple past tense quiz with AI
Upload a PDF, slides or typed notes and get multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions on the verbs you actually studied, each with an explanation.
Practice simple past tense from your own material
Learners often mix up the simple past for irregular verbs, writing goed or eated instead of went or ate, and that habit only breaks with repeated answering. A simple past tense grammar quiz built from your own class notes gives you that repetition, with an explanation attached to each question.
- Irregular verbs such as went, saw, bought and took, grouped so you can drill the most common ones first.
- Regular -ed endings, including spelling changes like stopped and studied, with a rule for each.
- Negative and question forms, such as did not see and did they finish, where the main verb returns to its base form.
- Short-answer prompts that ask you to rewrite present sentences in the simple past.
Questions from your material
The quiz is built from your own pages, so it covers the irregular verbs and regular -ed endings your teacher used this week.
Explanations for every answer
A wrong answer about did or had comes with the rule behind it, so you learn why the form changes.
Study in the browser
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. Upgrade to Plus to export PDF or DOCX copies.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of your page. Photos are read with text recognition.
Choose the question type
Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions, then generate the quiz.
Answer and check your reasoning
Take the quiz and read each explanation, then regenerate from new material when you want more practice.
Ready-made printable worksheets are easy to find, but they rarely use the verbs your teacher covered this week. DeckOwl reads your PDF, slides or typed notes and writes questions that target those exact verbs and the -ed endings that appeared in your lesson.
Each explanation shows the rule behind the answer, so a mistake with did or had teaches you the pattern rather than just the right word. Take the quiz in the browser on the free plan, and upgrade to Plus if you want PDF or DOCX copies to print.
