Jumble Up Japanese Sentences



Create worksheets for Japanese students to identify the correct order

This is a great resource for testing Japanese learners’ knowledge of Japanese sentence structure. Rather than SVO (subject, verb, object) which is used in a lot of simple sentences in English and a lot of Romance languages, Japanese uses SOV, which is subject, object, verb. For example, "I eat sushi" translates to "I sushi eat". It's also not unusual to have sentences appear in OSV form. So whilst vocabulary is essential when learning Japanese, it's also important to know which words go where in a sentence.

To begin either copy and paste your text in the box or type it in and this worksheet generator will change the order of the words in your sentence(s).

In terms of customization, you can enter a title and choose whether you want all words to appear in lowercase or in sentence case for new sentences. You can also choose the font and size of the text. There is also an option to remove original commas and quotation marks to increase the difficulty level of the exercises.

The Japanese jumbled sentence worksheet you create will be ready for you to print. When printing, you may select how many worksheets you would like to have without answers and how many with answers. The worksheets with answers will show the sentences in the correct order (as you entered them).

Once you have printed your jumbled sentence worksheet, your students can start practicing right away! You can even get the students to mark their own work – with these worksheets students can check their answers using the answer sheet.

We have lots of other learn Japanese worksheets like fill in the gap and create empty spaces as well as to create Japanese  number bingo sheets.
