If you want to come over, please (29) ……………… me know. We can ask my mum to buy some hot pizza (30) ……………… us to eat later.
See you at school tomorrow!
Answer Key & Explanations
25 to
– Why it's right: We always use to after the verb want when it is followed by another action (want to do something).
– Why not 'for': Students often confuse to and for, but we never say want for film.
26 the
– Why it's right: We use the before superlative adjectives like best.
– Why not 'a': We cannot use a because there is only one best song in this context, not many.
27 than
– Why it's right: We use than when we are comparing two things or people (better than me).
– Why not 'then': Then refers to time and sounds similar when spoken, but it is never used for comparing things.
28 at
– Why it's right: We always use the preposition at when we talk about a specific clock time, like two o'clock.
– Why not 'on': We use on for days of the week (like on Saturday), but not for the exact time.
29 let
– Why it's right: Let me know is a very common fixed phrase in English which simply means "tell me".
– Why not 'make': You cannot say make me know; the correct verb for this expression is always let.
30 for
– Why it's right: We use for when someone receives something or benefits from an action (like buying something for someone).
– Why not 'to': We don't say buy some pizza to us because to is usually used to talk about direction or movement.
Test 2
Questions 25-30
For each question, write the correct answer. Write one word for each gap.
From: Leo
To: Ben
Hi Ben,
How are you doing today? I am starting a great new school podcast next week. The first episode is (25) ……………… to be all about sports. I want to interview you (26) ……………… you are the best football player in our year.
Would you like to be (27) ……………… special guest on my new show? We can talk (28) ……………… your favourite matches and how you train with the team. We (29) ……………… going to record it in the school library next Thursday afternoon.
Please let (30) ……………… know soon if you can come!
See you,
Leo
Answer Key & Explanations
25 going
– Why it's right: We use "going" to complete the future time structure "be going to" (+ verb) when talking about plans we have already made.
– Why not 'will': A common mistake is writing "is will", but we never use "will" together with the verb "to be" (is) and "to".
26 because
– Why it's right: We use the conjunction "because" to introduce the reason for an action or feeling. Here, it explains why Leo wants to interview Ben.
– Why not 'so': "So" introduces a result, not a reason. You would use it the other way around: "You are the best player, so I want to interview you."
27 a
– Why it's right: We use the indefinite article "a" before a singular, countable noun phrase (special guest) when we introduce it for the first time.
– Why not 'the': We only use "the" if both people already know exactly which specific guest is being talked about, but this is a new invitation.
28 about
– Why it's right: When we discuss a specific topic, we always use the preposition "about" to complete the phrase "talk about [something]".
– Why not 'for': You might think of "talk for", but that describes how much time you spend speaking (e.g., "talk for an hour"), not the topic.
29 are
– Why it's right: We need the auxiliary verb "are" to match the plural pronoun "We" and complete the structure "we are going to".
– Why not 'is': We cannot say "We is" because "is" is only used with singular subjects like he, she, or it.
30 me
– Why it's right: We use the object pronoun "me" because it receives the action of the verb "let". "Let me know" is a very common phrase to ask for a reply.
– Why not 'I': We cannot say "let I know" because "I" is a subject pronoun and is only used at the beginning of a clause, not right after a verb.
Test 3
Questions 25-30
For each question, write the correct answer. Write one word for each gap.
From: Mia
To: Leo
Hi Leo,
Are you busy this evening? I really want (25) ……………… play Minecraft later. I am building a brand new virtual city. It is the biggest thing I have (26) ……………… built! There are already lots of houses, but we can make a huge castle in (27) ……………… middle of it. You are much better at designing buildings (28) ……………… I am. If you want to join my game tonight, please let (29) ……………… know. We can play online together (30) ……………… two hours after we finish our homework.
See you later!
Answer Key & Explanations
25 to
– Why it's right: After the verb want, we use to before the next action (want to do something).
– Why not 'for': We cannot say want for play in English; for is not used before a base verb like this.
26 ever
– Why it's right: We use ever with the present perfect and superlative adjectives (like the biggest) to mean "at any time in my life".
– Why not 'never': Using never would mean she hasn't built it at all, which doesn't make sense because she is building it right now!
27 the
– Why it's right: We always use the in the fixed phrase in the middle of.
– Why not 'a': You cannot say in a middle because a place or object only has one exact middle, not many.
28 than
– Why it's right: We use than when we are comparing two people or things (better than me).
– Why not 'then': Then is used to talk about time (meaning "next" or "at that time"), not for comparing things.
29 me
– Why it's right: Let me know is a very common fixed phrase in English which simply means "tell me".
– Why not 'I': After the verb let, we must always use an object pronoun like me, never a subject pronoun like I.
30 for
– Why it's right: We use for when we talk about a length or duration of time, such as two hours.
– Why not 'since': We use since to talk about a specific starting point (like since 2 o'clock), not for an amount of time.
