Drag the word in the right place in the sentnece
To place a word in its correct place in a sentence, you need to
consider the grammar, syntax, and meaning of the sentence.
Here are some general guidelines to help you:
1. Identify the part of speech: Determine what part of speech the
word belongs to (noun, verb, adjective, etc.). This will help
you understand where it should be placed in the sentence.
2. Understand the sentence structure: Analyze the overall
structure of the sentence, including subject, verb, and object
placement. This will give you a framework for placing the
word correctly.
3. Consider the meaning and context: Think about the meaning
of the sentence and the intended message. Make sure the
word you're placing fits logically and conveys the intended
1. Check for agreement: Ensure that the word agrees with other
elements in the sentence, such as subject-verb agreement or
adjective-noun agreement.
2.Review punctuation and capitalization: Pay attention to punctuation
marks and capitalization rules. Make sure the word is placed correctly
within these guidelines.
3.Read the sentence aloud: Read the sentence aloud after placing the
word to check if it sounds natural and flows smoothly.
Remember that the specific rules for word placement can vary depending
on the language and sentence structure. Practice is key to improving
your sentence construction skills.

Sentence ordering
Here are some tips:
●
Identify the subject and verb: Determine the subject (the doer
of the action) and the verb (the action or state) in the sentence.
This will give you a starting point for organizing the sentence.
●
Consider the natural word order: In English, the typical word
order is subject-verb-object (SVO). However, this can vary
depending on the sentence structure or specific language
rules. Start by placing the subject and verb in their usual
positions and build the sentence from there.
●
Pay attention to modifiers: Place adjectives, adverbs, and other
modifiers in a logical order that makes sense within the
sentence. Generally, adjectives come before the noun they
describe, and adverbs come before the verb or adjective they
modify.
•
Consider time and location expressions: If the sentence includes time or location
expressions, place them in a way that makes the most sense contextually. Generally,
time expressions come before the verb, and location expressions come after the
verb.
•
Use connecting words: Utilize connecting words like conjunctions (and, but, or) or
transitional phrases (however, furthermore, for example) to link ideas and create a
smooth flow between sentences or clauses.
•
Read the sentence aloud: After ordering the words in a sentence, read it aloud to
check if it sounds natural and conveys the intended meaning. This can help you
identify any errors or awkward phrasing.
•
Remember that sentence ordering can vary depending on the language and
sentence structure. Practice constructing sentences and pay attention to how native
speakers arrange words to develop a better sense of natural sentence ordering.

Dialogue ordering
How to do that !!!
Establish a logical sequence: Arrange the
dialogue in a logical sequence that
follows a natural flow of conversation.

relationships between statements, the
responses to questions or prompts, and
the overall progression of ideas.

Fill in the gaps
Here are some helpful tips to tackle these questions effectively:
1.Read the Context: Begin by carefully reading the surrounding text. Understand the context, topic, and
purpose of the passage. This will help you anticipate what information might be missing in the gaps.
2.Analyze Clues:
1. Grammar and Punctuation: Look for clues in the grammar and punctuation. Pay attention to
verb tenses, articles, prepositions, and other grammatical structures.
2. Vocabulary: Consider the vocabulary used before and after the gaps. Sometimes, the missing
words are related to specific terms or concepts discussed in the passage.
3. Contextual Clues: Use the context to guess the type of information that might fit in the gaps. Is it
a definition, an example, a cause-effect relationship, or a comparison?
3.Predict the Missing Words:
1. Word Form: Analyze the sentence structure to determine the form of the missing word (e.g.,
noun, adjective, verb, etc.).
2. Type of Word: Consider whether the missing word represents an amount, a change, an action,
or another category.
4.Refer Back to the Text:
1. Locate the relevant part of the reading that corresponds to the gap. In longer passages, identify
the paragraphs or sections related to the summary.
2. Understand the context of the missing information. What happened? What was discussed?
5.Choose the Correct Word:
1. From the provided options (usually in a box), select the word that fits both grammatically and
contextually.
2. Be cautious if there are more words than gaps. Eliminate options that don’t match the context.
