About these Kanji match exercises
Match each kanji from the Verb Basics lesson to its reading. Connecting a character to how it is read is the first step toward reading it in real words, and every kanji here has already appeared in the lesson.
Frequently asked questions
Are these Japanese grammar exercises free?
Yes. Every Kanji match drill for the Verb Basics lesson is free and runs right in your browser — no account, no download, no app required.
Do I need to finish the lesson first?
It helps. These drills only use grammar and vocabulary from the Verb Basics lesson, so reading the lesson first makes them click faster — but you can also use the drills to test what you already know.
How do these drills help me learn?
Actively producing or choosing an answer — instead of just reading — is what moves a grammar pattern into long-term memory. Each exercise gives instant feedback so you learn from mistakes as you go.
