To practice speaking in the past tense, use these questions as a starting point. Answer the question and continue speaking to tell a story or elaborate on your answer.
Example: Name something you agreed to do.
I agreed to work on the weekend. This decision later became a big regret for me when my friends told me they wanted to take a spontaneous boat trip.
