Below we have chosen presente, condizionale and imperfetto. Try to fill in the right form of the verb in the answer:
*dove sei stato?***a casa*sono stato a casa*sono stato a casa***sei stato*sono stato,*0,*******dove = where essere = be a casa = home, at home **essere;passato prossimo*

Here you are challenged to recognize the verb form and rewrite it from singular to plural form (or vice versa).
You can work with one conjugation at a time as in the following examples in presente:
*scrivono una poesia?***una poesia?*scrive una poesia?*scrive una poesia?***scrivono*scrive,*0,*****160px**scrivere = write poesia = poetry **scrivere;presente*

*guardo il quadro***il quadro*guardiamo il quadro*guardiamo il quadro***guardo*guardiamo,*0,*****160px**guardare = look at, watch quadro = painting, picture, square **guardare;presente*
Or you can include multiple conjugations and thereby be challenged to recognize the conjugation as well.
