Tap the scrambled words in the correct order to rebuild each sentence. Twelve sentences, increasing in difficulty.
Word order is one of the fastest ways to spot a grammar mistake, and one of the hardest instincts to build just from reading rules. This activity trains that instinct directly.
1. Each round shows a set of scrambled words below the answer box.
2. Tap words in order to build the sentence in the box above — tap a placed word again to remove it.
3. Tap "Check Answer" once every word is placed.
4. Use "Reset" to clear your current attempt, or "Skip" to move on.
5. Finish all 12 sentences to see your final score, then try the quiz below.
English shows who did what mostly by position, not by word endings. "The dog chased the boy" and "The boy chased the dog" use the same words, but the meaning is opposite. This is why word order matters so much.
Most English statements follow subject, verb, object. Details such as place and time usually come after.
Words: year, will she graduated By next have from college
"By" has a capital letter, so it starts the sentence. "year," has a comma, so "By next year," is the opening phrase. The subject is "she", followed by the verb group "will have graduated". Last comes "from college". Result: By next year, she will have graduated from college.
In a few sentences, more than one order is correct. The game accepts the common alternatives.
