1
This video is for everyone who needs help with the new TOEFL Build a Sentence task.
2
In the Build a Sentence task, test takers first read a complete sentence, followed by a second sentence in which words or phrases are scrambled.
3
Test takers must rearrange the words to form a grammatically correct sentence that fits the situation.
4
You can expect about 6 to 12 Build a Sentence questions.
5
You'll have approximately 6 to 8 minutes to complete all the questions.
6
Let's explore a sequence of steps that will help you complete this task more efficiently.
7
Step 1.
8
Use the context from the prompt to guide you.
9
The prompt says, they've already booked flights for next month.
10
Booking flights strongly suggests an event or a future plan that's already arranged.
11
Step 2.
12
Check if it's a statement or a question.
13
The scrambled sentence ends with a question mark.
14
There are also two strong signals in the word bank, the WH word which and the auxiliary verb are.
15
This tells us that the subject -verb -word order will change into auxiliary verb -subject -verb -word order.
16
Step 3.
17
Find the main verb.
18
The action here is attending.
19
Step 4.
20
Ask who is performing the action.
21
The answer is they.
22
They is the subject.
23
Step 5.
24
Build the core structure for the pattern auxiliary verb subject verb
25
this gets us are they attending step 6 group the rest
26
of the words into meaningful chunks the only meaningful combination is
27
which conference it is also the focus of the question
28
and must be placed at the beginning of the sentence we
29
are asking about the object of the verb the conference in
30
a statement the object follows the verb they are attending a conference.
31
When we form a WH question about the object, the structure changes into WH word plus object plus auxiliary verb plus subject plus verb.
32
This pattern is fundamental to English sentence structure and is frequently seen in a build a sentence task.
33
Let's analyze one more example with a more advanced sentence pattern.
34
This is a slightly more challenging task because it has multiple verbs, multiple auxiliaries, and multiple subjects in a scrambled sentence.
35
When you have multiple verbs, multiple auxiliaries, and multiple subjects,
36
the first move is to sort the words into logical groups before you try to build the full sentence.
37
First, identify the main action verbs, then match them with the correct auxiliaries.
38
Notice that we have two action verbs in the word bank, know and working on.
39
The verb working on ends in ing.
40
In English, ing verbs in this structure require a form of be, either am working, is working, or are working.
41
So immediately we look for an auxiliary verb in the word bank.
42
We see is.
43
Next look for the subject.
44
We have two options to choose from, you and she.
45
We can't use you with is working on because of the subject verb agreement.
46
We say she is but you are.
47
She is working on is the first logical and grammatically correct group of words for this sentence.
48
Another action verb in the word bank is no. Quickly check the word bank for a matching auxiliary and subject.
49
The only variants that fit both logically and grammatically into this group are do and you.
50
Once we've identified our two strong groups, do you know and she is working on, we're left with the remaining words, which presentation.
51
So these two words naturally combine into one chunk, which presentation.
52
Now we have three clear groups
53
and combine them into a logical sequence do you know
54
which presentation she is working on finally why do we say do you know
55
which presentation she is working on and not do you know
56
which presentation is she working on the reason is
57
that this sentence consists of two parts the main clause do you know
58
and a noun clause
59
which part of the presentation she is working on a noun clause behaves like a noun
60
and functions as the object of the verb know in other
61
words the speaker is asking do you know something we replace something with
62
which presentation she is working on
63
and here is the key rule in noun clauses we use direct statement word order not a question word order
64
so inside the noun clause the structure stays subject plus auxiliary plus verb she is working on
65
or subject plus verb depending on the tense
66
and the type of action the rest of the video will
67
ask you to unscramble several sentences each sentence will follow one
68
of these patterns w -h -word plus object plus auxiliary plus subject plus verb
69
and auxiliary plus subject plus verb plus w -h -word plus noun plus subject plus auxiliary plus verb.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
