Swim Verbs - ESL Flash Quiz (Charles Kelly) - I like this activity. Using only the verb "swim", you get to try out all the verb tenses. Pay close attention to the context of the sentences. Use grammar, vocabulary and spelling clues to figure out which verb tense of "swim" you should use. If you get an answer wrong and don't know why, ask your classmate or teacher. Good luck!
