A couple of songs for the weekend

Well, I think you might be just a little tired of dealing with tenses, and certainly not everything is studying when acquiring a language. Here you have the typical "fill in the blanks" exercise with songs, but I think you will like the way it is done in this website. Just pick the song you prefer, and select a level to "play". Of course, you can DO BOTH!! Both of them include several different verb tenses. I hope you like them.


Gotye: "Somebody that I used to know"


or if you prefer something a little faster...


Foo Fighters: Walk


See you!
