TOEFL Build a Sentence Practice
About this task
Build a Sentence opens the TOEFL 2026 Writing section. You are given a set of word chunks, phrases rather than single words, and you drag them into the one order that forms a grammatically correct sentence. A full set usually runs about ten items inside a six-minute window, which works out to roughly 30 seconds per sentence, so recognizing the correct grammar quickly matters more than reading speed. There is no partial credit for a chunk placed one slot off, so this task rewards fast, confident grammar instincts over careful deliberation. This practice mode reproduces the drag-and-drop interface with a fresh set of sentences each time, a live timer, and instant right-or-wrong scoring on submission so you can see exactly which chunk order tripped you up and drill the pattern again.
- Look at the end punctuation and fixed words first. After 'Do you know', use statement order: 'where it is', not 'where is it'.
- Count the chunks and the blanks before you start. One extra chunk means one wrong chunk that you must not use.
- Place the subject and its verb first. After that, most other chunks fit in only one place.
- Read the whole sentence once before you click Next. One chunk in the wrong place scores zero.
