Form
Press Generate and a complete, grammatical sentence appears. Each one is assembled from a random subject, verb, object and setting, so the result is always readable English but rarely something anyone would have thought to write.
The shortest form is a plain subject-verb-object sentence. Adding a place puts it somewhere specific, and the full form adds a time or a reason on the end. Longer is not automatically better: a short sentence leaves more room for a writer to fill in, while a long one gives a scene to react to.
The oddness is the point. A sentence that reads like something you might write yourself is no use as a prompt, because it suggests nothing new. A clumsy cartographer photographing a stranger's coat on the roof of the museum makes you ask why - and the answer to that question is where the writing starts.
Because every sentence is grammatically sound, the output is usable for parsing exercises, sentence diagramming and translation practice. Students can identify subject, verb and object in a sentence nobody has seen before, which is harder and more useful than working from familiar examples.
Each slot in the sentence template draws from its own word list using your browser's cryptographic random source, with rejection sampling so no word is favoured. Because the slots are independent, the number of possible sentences runs into the millions, which is why the same one almost never comes back twice.
Press Generate and a complete sentence appears, built from a random subject, verb and object.
Yes. The length buttons add a place, then a time or a reason, so the same sentence grows from six words to a full scene.
Yes. The question form turns the sentence into a why question, which works well as a story prompt.
Grammatically, always. Logically, deliberately not always - a clumsy lighthouse keeper burying three empty jars is odd on purpose, because that is what makes it a prompt.
Yes. Raise the quantity and press once, then Copy All to take the whole set.
Yes. Every part is chosen with your browser's cryptographic random source, so the combinations run into the millions.
