The problem it solves

You look up a word, add it to your reviews, and still struggle to use it in a sentence. A particle or ending makes sense in a textbook, then disappears when you try to speak. Flashcards drill isolated material; Sentence Search puts it back in context.

Choose the words and grammar points you are studying. Elephant returns matching corpus sentences, each with a word-by-word breakdown and audio.

How you use it

Pick an abstract sentence ending from the grammar list, search for words from your review queue, or combine both. Every filter must appear in a result, so adding a particle and two words returns only sentences that use all three.

Results come from Elephant's shared corpus. Search includes sentences that completed analysis and have not been excluded or content-flagged. If a spelling maps to several vocabulary entries, Elephant checks each one for matches.

Why it helps you actually learn

Repeated examples show how a grammar point behaves beyond one textbook sentence. That helps bridge the gap between recognizing an ending and producing it when you speak.

Vocabulary filters can also keep examples closer to familiar material. You spend more time seeing known words in context and less time decoding unrelated vocabulary.

What a search looks like

Elephant's sentence search: the topic marker 은/는 is checked under Particles, the word 한국어 is added as a vocabulary chip, and the results list shows matching Korean example sentences with English translations.
Pick a grammar point and a word; every match opens the full sentence breakdown.
A narrowed sentence search: the topic marker 은/는 plus the words 커피 and 마시다 are selected, and the results show exactly one sentence, 저는 매일 아침에 커피를 마셔요, with its English translation.
Every filter must appear: one particle plus two words leaves only sentences that use all three.

Questions about Sentence Search

Do I need an account to use sentence search? ▼
Sentence search lives inside the Elephant app alongside the dictionary, so it needs a free account. Once signed in it draws on the shared corpus of example sentences that all learners contribute to by analyzing sentences.
How many sentences does a search return? ▼
Up to 20 matching sentences. It is a finding tool, not a full export: the goal is a focused set of useful examples for the features you picked, not every sentence in the corpus.
Can I combine grammar and vocabulary filters? ▼
Yes. Every selected grammar point and word must appear in a result. Fewer filters give broader results; more filters narrow them.
Where do the example sentences come from? ▼
They come from the shared corpus of sentences analyzed in Elephant. Search includes analyzed sentences that have not been excluded or content-flagged. Automated checks reduce unsuitable results, but they do not guarantee that every sentence is error-free.
