Word Order Practice
Listen to each sentence and arrange the words in the correct order. Click on words to move them to your answer area.
Green checkmark (✓) means your current word order is correct so far. Red X (✗) means there's an error in the order.
Why Word Order Matters in English
Word order is crucial in English because it affects meaning. Unlike some languages that use case endings or particles to show word relationships, English relies heavily on word order to convey meaning.
This exercise helps you:
- Internalize English sentence patterns
- Recognize how grammar patterns fit into sentences
- Develop a natural feel for correct English structure
- Improve both listening and grammar simultaneously

Tips for Effective Practice
- Always listen to the audio first before attempting to order the words
- Pay attention to common patterns like subject-verb-object
- Notice how grammar patterns are positioned in sentences
- If you make a mistake, use it as a learning opportunity - try to understand why the correct order is different
- After completing each sentence, listen to the audio again while reading your correctly ordered sentence
