Sentence rearrangement is an exercise in rearrangement of jumbled words, slash phrases to make sentences that are complete and make sense. Sentences are made up of different grammar units and these units are broken up and deliberately jumbled up in order to create a ‘rearrangement or reordering of sentences’ exercise. 

These jumbled words and phrases need to be rearranged in a proper order to form a grammatically correct meaningful sentence. 

➤ At first, look for the subject and the predicate which contains the verb.

➤ Look for the helping verbs, objects, adjectives, adverbs and other parts of speech. Arrange them in a way that it makes sense.

➤ Read the sentence carefully after rearrangement. It should make sense and grammatically correct.

➤ Don’t forget to count the words as it should be same as given in the jumbled-up sentence.

➤ Don’t use any other words other than the ones given in the sentence.
