JLPT N5 particle practice
Try two N5-level Japanese particle questions with no account. Each sentence has one particle missing; choose from four and the correct particle, the function it performs, and an explanation appear immediately.
Particles are where beginner Japanese most often goes wrong, and where a small correction pays off for years.
Try two N5 particles questions
Two questions, four options each. You see the correct answer and an explanation as soon as you choose. Nothing is saved.
What this practices
Every question is a Japanese sentence with a particle removed. What makes it answerable is the FUNCTION the gap is asking for — a topic, a direct object, a destination, a location — and we tell you that function once you have answered.
Particle questions are grouped by function rather than by particle, because に alone marks destinations, times, and where something exists. Naming the function is what turns a guess into a decision.
- は for the topic, が for the subject
- を for the direct object
- に for destinations and points in time
- で for where an action happens
- と and や for listing things
What N5 particles ask of you
N5 sentences are short, so the particle usually carries most of the grammatical information in them. Choosing the wrong one does not make a sentence slightly awkward — it makes it say something different.
The classic N5 confusions are は versus が, に versus で, and に versus へ. Two questions will usually land on at least one of them.
How the sample works
- Press Start practice. Two N5 particle questions are drawn at random, usually testing two different particle functions.
- Read the sentence and choose one of the four particles. Furigana is on by default and can be turned off.
- We check the answer on our side and show the verdict, the correct particle, the function being tested, and a short explanation.
- After both questions you see your result for this sample. Nothing is stored, and you can draw another pair.
Why function-based particle practice works
Each result names the grammatical function the blank was asking for, so the next sentence with that shape is easier.
All of our active particle questions carry a written explanation — none of them just tells you that you were wrong.
Nothing is stored, and the explanation is never behind a signup step.
