What people use it for
- Spelling and vocabulary A weekly list goes in and every sentence on the sheet uses one of the words.
- Warm ups Five sentences on the board at the start of a lesson, each with a word from the week before.
- Placeholder text Lines for a design or a database that read like real English instead of lorem ipsum.
A sentence generator that uses your words
Most generators hand you sentences from a fixed pool, so the words have nothing to do with the lesson on the board or the list you were given. This one takes the words you paste and builds every sentence around one of them. Ten words in, five sentences out, and the line under the sentences says which words came up and which ones never did.
Leave the box empty and it works the other way: subject, verb, object and a phrase, drawn from its own bank, with the verb agreeing with the subject. A singular subject takes the s on the verb, a plural subject does not.
What you choose
| Setting | What it changes |
|---|---|
| Shape | Statements, questions or a mix. A question switches to do, does or did and puts the verb back in its base form |
| Tense | Present or past. In the present the verb follows the subject, in the past one form covers everybody |
| How many | One sentence, three, five or ten, and no line repeats inside the same draw |
Every draw also gets a count: how many statements and how many questions came out, and whether anything had to repeat, so you know what you are handing out before you hand it out.
Why the words are yours
A spelling list, a vocabulary unit, the words a class got wrong on Friday. Paste them and the sentences sound like the lesson instead of a random sample of English. Questions land in the same place, so a line like Did anyone actually use lantern in a sentence? is something you can put on the board.
The frames around your word are written so a noun, a verb or an adjective all fit in them. That is why a word like quickly can sit where a thing would normally go: the sentence is about the word, not about the thing it names.
What it does not do
It does not know what your words mean. The sentences are grammatical and they use the word, but the sense comes from you, so read them before you hand them out. It is not an AI writer either: the words come from the page, the sentence shapes are fixed in the file, and nothing leaves the browser.
