Game: build the sentence

What you will be able to do

Produce a Thai sentence yourself, in the right order, from its pieces.

Every other drill on this site asks you to RECOGNISE Thai. Recognising is not speaking, and the gap between them is where most learners stall: you understand the menu and still cannot order. Here you are given the English and the Thai in pieces, and you tap them into order. That is production — you are choosing the words and the sequence — without needing a Thai keyboard on your phone.

This game needs JavaScript. Everything it tests is on the phrase pages, which work without it.

Common mistake

Thai word order is not English word order with Thai words in it. The politeness particle always goes last, the question word usually sits at the end rather than the start, and the adjective follows the noun. If a sentence keeps coming out wrong, read the pieces as a sequence of meanings rather than translating your English sentence word by word.
