Spot the Mistake in Arabic
Each Arabic sentence has one word that doesn’t fit: an adjective in the wrong gender, a verb that doesn’t match its subject, a plural that should be singular. Find it, then see the corrected sentence and the rule behind it.
How to play
- Pick a dialect and a level, then start a round of ten sentences.
- Read the sentence, with its English meaning underneath, and tap the word that’s wrong.
- The correction appears over the wrong word, with the corrected sentence and a short explanation.
- At the end, review every corrected sentence and play any of them aloud.
Common questions
What kinds of mistakes are in the sentences?
The ones learners make most: an adjective that doesn’t agree with its noun, a verb in the wrong person, a singular where a plural belongs, and a possessive ending that points to the wrong person. Each one clashes with another word in the same sentence, so you can prove it.
Does the grammar change by dialect?
Some of it does. Verb prefixes and demonstratives differ between Egyptian, Levantine, Darija and Fusha, so the sentences and corrections follow the dialect you pick.
What level is Spot the Mistake for?
Any level. Beginner rounds use short everyday sentences; advanced rounds use longer sentences where the mismatch is further from the word it depends on.
