    Why you keep missing the small words

    In connected speech, native speakers compress function words: "of the" becomes "uh-thuh", plural "s" all but vanishes before a consonant. Your brain hears the meaning, fills in the gaps, and you type what you expect instead of what was actually said. Content words survive; articles, prepositions, and word endings don't.

    Because WFD gives credit for every correct word, those dropped small words add up fast. The fix is not more vocabulary — it is deliberately checking your typed answer against the original, word by word, and noticing which small words you drop again and again. That is exactly what the reveal-and-highlight on this page (and word-level scoring in the PTE Flow app) trains.

    The PTE Flow app checks your typing word by word, tracks the small words you keep dropping, and rebuilds your daily practice around them.

    FAQ

    How do I practice Write From Dictation on this page?

    Press play on a sentence, listen once, and type what you hear somewhere (paper, notes app, anywhere). Then press "Show answer" and compare word by word. The gold words are the small words — articles, prepositions, and plural endings — that are the most common source of lost points.

    Why are some words highlighted in gold?

    Gold marks function words (a, the, of, to, is…) and plural or third-person 's' endings. In WFD, every correct word earns credit, and these small words are the ones weak listeners drop most often. Training your ear to catch them is usually the fastest way to improve.

    What does "Most Repeated" mean for this set?

    These sentences are flagged as frequently reported by test takers. Repetition is never guaranteed — treat them as high-value practice material, not a shortcut.

    Can I listen to each sentence more than once?

    Yes — replay as much as you like while learning. But in the real exam the audio plays only once, so as you improve, challenge yourself to type the full sentence from a single listen.

    Is this enough to prepare for WFD?

    It is a good free start. For a full routine you also want typed answers checked word by word, spaced review of your mistakes, and daily volume — that is what the PTE Flow app is built for.
