When I am teaching and revising grammar, the big thing I hate it needing to only check all my answers at the end. I like to be able to give a question. Get the students to show their answers on mini white boards and immediately check their answers and discuss why the answer is correct.
I have taken the 2015 SPAG short answer test papers and marking schemes and combined them into a single PowerPoint. There are two different levels of questions, those for Levels 3 - 5 and the more advanced level 6. It is worth going through all of them to both check the advanced groups basic understanding and the other group to inspire them to greater things!
Please leave me a comment on how you found them.

School Variety Show – Who Did What?
Passive Voice – Future (with will) and Past Simple
Instructions:
You’re involved in helping to organise your school variety show.
You are at a meeting to discuss who will do what job at the variety show. Use passive voice (BE + past participle) to write full sentences using future form with will, to show who is scheduled to do what:
1. a) PHOTOS > TAKE > JOE (STEVEN) The photos will be taken by Joe.
But when the day of the variety show finally arrived, absolutely nothing went to plan! The person in brackets actually did the job in question, so write a sentence using active voice with past simple form to show what actually happened:
1. b) Steven took the photos.
Then write a sentence using passive voice with past simple form that you can put in your after-show report:
1. c) The photos were taken by Steven.
In summary, you have to write three sentences for each question:
i) passive voice with future form (will)
ii) active voice with past simple form
iii) passive voice with past simple form
Note: each group of three sentences could also be drilled orally.
