TOEFL Build a Sentence Practice

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.

Strategy tips

1. 1Look at the end punctuation and fixed words first. After 'Do you know', use statement order: 'where it is', not 'where is it'.
2. 2Count the chunks and the blanks before you start. One extra chunk means one wrong chunk that you must not use.
3. 3Place the subject and its verb first. After that, most other chunks fit in only one place.
4. 4Read the whole sentence once before you click Next. One chunk in the wrong place scores zero.
