JLPt Kanji Questions – Part 2

We are going to take a look at test questions you would find in the thrid part of the level 4 JLPT kanji section. In this section your vocabulary knowledge is being tested. Because the whole sentence is written in hiragana you should have no trouble reading it. Read it slowly and try to grasp the meaning in English. Again, you will have a tendency to want to get to the answers quickly. These questions are worth two marks each.

Ask yourself focused grammar questions when looking at the question;

● Am I looking for a noun, and adjective and adverb ?
● What is the tense of the verb in the sentence or clause ?
● What is the subject; a person, an animal an object ?
1. Look at what comes before the underline .
2. Look at what comes after the underline .
3. What are the particles in the question; に、を、が、は、で
4. Watch out for ので　ですが　でも　and から
5. Think in context to eliminate wrong choices
6. Know your katakana – a katakana question is almost always in this part of the test.
