## What is SenGram?

English grammar game app / Available on the iPhone and iPad

SenGram is an iPhone and iPad language game which presents pre-prepared sentence diagram puzzles and solutions to those puzzles, for players to solve.

(Please note: this is an educational sentence-diagramming puzzle game, it is NOT a tool which will solve your homework for you...). 

This puzzle game tests and improves your ability to take sentences apart, identify the underlying grammatical structure, and reflect that structure on a diagram. 

This game will be of interest to students of language (including ESL students), lovers of language and grammar, those sitting standardised tests with a grammar component (e.g. SAT, GMAT, NAPLAN) as well as those who are familiar with sentence diagrams and enjoy completing them as puzzles. The game might be especially useful to those students who are are currently studying a course in which sentence diagramming is used as a teaching tool.

Some reviews (US region):

Great App
by Beezer88 - Version 1.00 - Aug 11, 2012. This is great for teaching how to diagram a sentence. Keep developing!!! :)

Spectacular!
by Viskid - Version 1.00 - Aug 11, 2012
This application has been used to great effect in my classroom. Used as part of the daily warmup, my kids are becoming so efficient at this oft forgotten skill. 5 stars and a hip-hip-hooray for this app.

Worthwhile
by GhostGame123 - Version 1.00 - Aug 9, 2012. I teach Latin and a major difficulty is getting the students to see the structure of sentences. The problem, at least in part, is that they don't (or can't) see structure even in English--no one teaches diagramming any more. I'm going to try to incorporate this into this year's classes. Thanks; I'd certainly buy more elaborate versions or buy upgrades in app.

Love it!
by Louwege - Version 1.00 - Jul 19, 2012
Please continue to develop. Great aid to learning. Thank you.

--------------------

Your objective when playing the game will be to place each word in the 'puzzle sentence' in its correct place on the 'sentence diagram'.
         
At present the app includes over 100 sentence puzzles, including:

(1) Subject and verb: 20 sentences.
(2) Article, adjective, adverb, possessive: 21 sentences.
(3) Prepositional phrase, adverbial noun: 20 sentences.
(4) Object - direct, indirect: 20 sentences.
(5) Linking verb: 20 sentences.
(6) Co-ordinating conjunction: 12 sentences.
(7) Challenge puzzles: 10 sentences.

In addition, there are further puzzles for purchase within the app in the 'SenGram Store'.

The style of diagram adopted in this app is known as the 'Reed Kellogg' style, and there are many websites and books devoted to it. In our view this style of diagramming offers one of the more enjoyable ways to test and improve your knowledge of grammar, especially if you have a visual mind.

Best of luck! We hope you enjoy the puzzles!

### 5/5 — SenGram

*2026-05-31, version 4.00*

I love it!!!!

### 5/5 — Helpful for teachers

*2025-07-08, version 4.00*

I am using the app to teach English to non-native speakers. I appreciate all the sample sentences. I would like to see some supplementary exercises from the creator, or perhaps some commentary. Well done SenGram!

### 5/5 — SenGram is the best

*2025-03-19*

SenGram majorly helped me with my diagramming sentences. I went from getting D’s and C’s on grammar quizzes and now I’m getting A’s. Thank you SenGram.

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 1/5 — Complaint

*2024-10-01, version 4.00*

App Store sight should specifically state that this app is ***NOT*** have a sentence diagram generator function. Really. One should not have to read other buyers’ reviews after purchasing to figure that out. I just bought it and would like a refund. Misleading, at best.

### 5/5 — Needs to be more interactive

*2024-08-27*

I love diagramming but I wish we could draw the lines and place the words in any order we choose. I was taught to place the verb first and diagram the sentence around it, that makes more logical sense than following the words from beginning to end. Also, having the lines pre-drawn gives too many clues. But it’s still better than any other similar app I’ve seen.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2024-08-16, version 4.00*

If you want to buy an app to watch videos that you could watch online for free and then take a “challenge”, then this is the app for you.  It is not an app that helps with sentence diagramming as portrayed. It was a waste of money

### 1/5 — App Crashes

*2024-08-07, version 4.00*

Since the last iphone update Sen Gram crashes on launch. Is this app still being supported?

### 1/5 — Installed on Ipad.  Doesn’t work..

*2023-09-14, version 4.00*

App crashes hen ai try to use it.

### 5/5 — Great idea!

*2023-05-05, version 4.00*

This app is so useful for reviewing sentence structure. Please add more sentences to diagram.

### 1/5 — Review

*2023-01-07, version 4.00*

I hate this

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.00 — 2017-04-24

This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included.

- We have added 64-bit support, so those "This app will slow down your computer" warnings should be gone, for good.
- Also, we have shortened the app's name, and added a shiny new icon to mark the occasion.
- Have fun! We love hearing all your fabulous stories about how you have used it at your schools and home-schools.

### 3.01 — 2014-02-04

- Adjusted the display proportions of the topic guides. The topic guides are now much more readable.
- Remember to take a look at the 60 new puzzles in the 'verbals' section.

### 3.0 — 2014-01-21

- New level with over 60 (!) new puzzles is available for purchase from the 'SenGram Store'. This new level covers: infinitives, gerunds and participles. The SenGram Store is found by clicking the 'Buy' button in the main puzzle list.
-  We believe that around 80% of iOS users are already using iOS 7. The SenGram interface has therefore been updated to iOS 7. As a consequence, iOS 7 is now a minimum requirement.

### 2.5 — 2013-03-06

By popular demand, we have added puzzle-completion tracking. 

You will now know which puzzles you completed successfully (a 'trophy' image), which puzzles you failed to answer (a 'bomb' image) and in respect of which puzzles you peeked at the answer (a 'life buoy' image). Your original result will be tracked even if you return to the puzzle again. You can, of course, press a button on the first screen and remove all tracking information.

In addition, we have added some improved support for screen rotation.

Finally, thank you to our customers in Japan who have been spreading the word about SenGram.

### 2.02 — 2012-11-30

We hope you are enjoying the 90+ new puzzles in the previous release.

This release has some relatively minor improvements:
- Improved app screen rotation performance.
- addition of a 'rate this version' reminder feature. Your continuing support is appreciated.
- some minor interface/speed improvements.
