Exercises on verb tenses

Hi everybody!

Today I'm posting two exercises I created for some students about verb tenses. In these two exercises you have to fill in the gaps using the following verb tenses: Present Simple, Present Continuous, Past Simple, Past Continuous, Present Perfect, Be Going To, Will, First and Second Conditional.

Hope it's easy for you to do it. You can post the answers in the comments part if you want me to correct it for you. 

Enjoy!
