Gap Fill Maker

What this is

A practice tool for independent learners. You choose the text, so you practise with English you actually want to read: a news article, a blog post, a page from a book, an email from work.

No account and no registration. Your text is never sent anywhere. The page only remembers your last text and your name in this browser, so you can come back to it.

The word types

• Articles, determiners, quantifiers: the, this, some, a few
• Pronouns, possessives, relative pronouns: they, their, which
• Prepositions: in, over, because of
• Connectors: however, although, as a result
• Modals, auxiliaries: should, might, have, did
• Comparisons, negatives: than, most, never, nothing

How to use it

1. Paste your text and press Start.
2. Choose one or more word types. Those words disappear.
3. Fill each gap by typing, dragging a word from the list, or tapping a word.
4. Stuck? Hint shows the next letter. Reveal shows the answer.
5. Press Check score. Green is correct, red is not.
6. Generate report and send it to your trainer.

Good to know

The tool only accepts the word from the original text. Sometimes another word is also correct. Those are the best questions to bring to class.

Tip: start with one word type and a text of 150 to 400 words.
