Sample Tottori Prefectural Public High School Entrance Examination — English Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Tottori Prefectural Public High School Entrance Examination — English exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Choose the correct article: "I have ___ apple in my bag."
A.an
B.a
C.the
D.
Explanation: 'Apple' begins with a vowel sound (/æ/), so the indefinite article 'an' is used. 'A' precedes consonant sounds.
2Choose the correct article: "She bought ___ umbrella because it was raining."
A.an
B.a
C.the
D.
Explanation: 'Umbrella' begins with a vowel sound (/ʌ/), so 'an' is correct. The choice depends on sound, not spelling.
3Choose the correct article: "He is ___ honest man."
A.an
B.a
C.the
D.
Explanation: Although 'honest' begins with the consonant letter h, it is silent, so the word starts with a vowel sound (/ˈɒn.ɪst/), taking 'an'.
4Choose the correct article: "I saw ___ dog in the park. ___ dog was very friendly."
A.a ... The
B.the ... A
C.a ... A
D.the ... The
Explanation: First mention of an unspecified dog takes 'a'; the second mention refers back to that same dog, so 'the' (definite) is used.
5Choose the correct pronoun: "This book is not mine. ___ is on the desk."
A.Yours
B.Your
C.You
D.Yourself
Explanation: A possessive pronoun stands alone in place of a noun phrase, so 'Yours' (= your book) is correct. 'Your' is a determiner and needs a noun.
6Choose the correct pronoun: "Please give the pen to ___."
A.me
B.I
C.my
D.mine
Explanation: After the preposition 'to', the object pronoun 'me' is required. 'I' is a subject pronoun; 'my' and 'mine' are possessive.
7Choose the correct pronoun: "Taro and ___ are good friends."
A.I
B.me
C.my
D.mine
Explanation: The pronoun is part of the compound subject 'Taro and I', so the subject pronoun 'I' is correct. 'Me' is an object form.
8Choose the correct word: "This is the girl ___ saved the child."
A.who
B.which
C.whose
D.where
Explanation: 'Who' is the relative pronoun for people as the subject. 'Which' is for things; 'whose' shows possession; 'where' indicates place.
9Choose the correct word: "The book ___ I bought yesterday is interesting."
A.which
B.who
C.where
D.when
Explanation: 'Which' is the relative pronoun for things as the object. 'Who' is for people; 'where' and 'when' are relative adverbs of place and time.
10Choose the correct word: "That is the town ___ I was born."
A.where
B.which
C.who
D.what
Explanation: 'Where' is the relative adverb of place replacing 'in which'. 'Which' would need a preposition; 'who' is for people; 'what' is not used here.

About the Tottori Prefectural Public High School Entrance Examination — English Exam

The Tottori Prefectural Public High School Entrance Examination in English (英語) tests lower-secondary graduates across 聞くこと (listening), 読むこと (reading), 話すこと (speaking) and 書くこと (writing). The general academic test (学力検査) is a prefecture-wide common paper (県内同一問題) covering five subjects (国語, 数学, 社会, 理科, 英語), each worth 50 points (合計 250点); 英語 is the only 60-minute paper and includes a リスニング section. For 令和8年度 (2026 admission) the 一般入学者選抜 学力検査 is 3月5日(木) with 合格発表 on 3月16日(月). The 英語 common paper sets 5 problems — listening, word-fill, conversation and writing, and two reading sections — and combines 記号選択 (multiple-choice) items with 単語補充, 英文記述 and テーマ英作文 questions, so it is not a pure multiple-choice paper; all schools use the same common papers (no 自校作成問題). Selection combines the 学力検査 total with the 調査書 at a ratio between 8:2 and 2:8, with schools free to apply 傾斜配点 (1-2 subjects multiplied by 1×-2×). The paper is aligned to the MEXT junior-high Course of Study (平成29年 中学校学習指導要領 外国語編), calculators are not permitted, and it tests 知識・技能 plus 思考力・判断力・表現力.

Assessment

50-point paper aligned to the MEXT 外国語 Course of Study, covering grammar, vocabulary, reading and conversation.

The prefectural common paper mixes 記号選択 items with 単語補充, 英文記述 and テーマ英作文 answers that earn partial credit; all schools use the same common papers (no 自校作成問題). 英語 is the only 60-minute subject (the 60 minutes include a リスニング section) and carries 50 points within the 250-point academic test. Problems are at junior-high graduation level (中学校卒業程度); calculators are not permitted. The paper tests 知識・技能 plus 思考力・判断力・表現力 across 聞く, 読む, 話す and 書く.

For 令和8年度 (2026 admission) the 学力検査 is 3月5日(木) (with a 3月6日(金) second-day schedule and a 追検査 on 3月11日(水) for influenza-absence cases), and 一般入学者選抜 合格発表 is 3月16日(月). Calculators are not permitted.

Tottori Prefectural Public High School Entrance Examination — English Study Tips from Top Performers

1Drill the core grammar systems — tenses, subject–verb agreement, relative clauses, passive voice and prepositions — since grammar underpins every section and was a 令和8年度 weakness in 語形変化 and 文完成 items.
2Build a broad junior-high vocabulary (occupations, synonyms/antonyms, common idioms) so the 単語補充 (word-fill) items are automatic — one 令和8年度 word-fill item scored only 6.0%.
3Practise reading informational English (posters, pamphlets, graphs) for main idea and detail, mirroring 問題4; then read short stories for plot order and lesson, mirroring 問題5 — summary-ordering was a very low-scoring 令和8年度 item (18.8%).
4Supplement this bank with real 聞くこと (listening) practice using past papers or audio drills, because the 60-minute paper includes a substantial リスニング section that MCQ cannot replicate.
5Practise テーマ英作文 (theme writing) and 対話文完成 by writing full English sentences from Japanese prompts — these 記述 items earned partial credit and were among the hardest in 令和8年度.
6Practise both 記号選択 and 記述 formats — Tottori's common paper uses both — and time yourself on full 60-minute papers, including the listening block.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this question bank the same as the real Tottori 英語 exam?

No. The official paper is sat in 60 minutes (including a リスニング / listening section) and combines 記号選択 (multiple-choice) items with 単語補充 (word-fill), 英文記述 and テーマ英作文 (theme writing) questions; its exact item count is not published. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation that emphasises written grammar, vocabulary, reading and conversation, because the listening and free-writing sections cannot be replicated in a static MCQ format. You still need separate listening and writing practice.

How long is the Tottori 英語 paper and what is it worth?

It is the only 60-minute subject (the 60 minutes include a リスニング section) and is scored out of 50 points, one of five subjects totalling 250 points. 英語 is sat on 令和8年3月5日(木), with 一般入学者選抜 合格発表 on 3月16日(月); the 特色入学者選抜 is 2月3日(火) with 合格発表 on 2月10日(火).

Are calculators allowed?

No. The English paper is sat without a calculator, in line with standard prefectural academic-test rules.

How is the selection structured?

Tottori's 一般入学者選抜 combines the 学力検査 total (5 subjects × 50 = 250 points, with schools free to apply 傾斜配点 multiplying 1-2 subjects by 1×-2×) with the 調査書 (school record) at a ratio between 8:2 and 2:8 set by each school. All applicants also sit a 面接 (interview), and some schools add 作文 or 実技検査. Selection is relative to other applicants, not against a published pass line. Unlike Tokyo, Tottori uses common prefectural papers at all schools and has no 自校作成問題.

How much is the examination fee?

The 入学選抜手数料 is ¥2,200 for a 全日制 course (¥1,000 for 定時制); it may be reduced or waived in cases of financial hardship.
