I would have tacked my quick question on the thread regarding sentence quizzes ([url=http://www.renshuu.org/keijiban/index.php?topic=1373.0]closed thread regarding Kanji/Kana sentence quiz[/url]) but the thread was closed. My question is: where/what are the sentence quizzes? Are there quizzes where we need to re-write sentences or translate an entire sentence? Do I have to have a sentence library in order to see them? I don't have a sentence library yet (are there pre-made elementary sentence libraries to help folks get started?).
In Renshuu Pro there is an option for quizzing vocabulary that, when a sentence is available, instead of quizzing you just on the word out of context, gives you a sentence with the word. In those cases obviously some words like verbs and adjectives are conjugated, which is what that closed thread is about.
But aside from that there are no quizzes for rewriting or translating sentences. However, when quizzing vocabulary in a sentence, you can, on your own, attempt to translate the sentence into English, and compare with the given translation afterwards.
As for a sentence library, the grammar entries do a good job with their example sentences. The contributed user sentences can of course also be used, but with some caution. If you are interested in the usage of some specific word, the dictionary gives you the option to view sentences with that word, if available.
Thank you, alekth. That's in line with what I thought but I just wanted to verify and make sure I wasn't missing something.

That's pretty much what I'm doing.
With regard to the sentence library, I'm still rather new -- VERY new, actually -- so I haven't spent a lot of time exploring that yet.
