A2 Key for Schools (KET) Reading & Writing Part 5 Test – Digital Invites: Sharing Screens & Media Experiences 4

25 on

– Why it's right: We use the preposition on when we talk about doing things or looking at things on electronic devices, like a tablet, phone, or computer.

– Why not 'in': We don't say in a tablet because you are looking at the screen, not putting something inside the physical machine.

26 but

– Why it's right: We use but to connect two ideas that contrast with each other. The pictures being great is a positive thing, which contrasts with the game being too difficult to play alone.

– Why not 'so': We use so to show a result, which does not make logical sense in this sentence.

27 for

– Why it's right: We use for to show who can use something or who something is made for. This game mode was created for two people to enjoy.

– Why not 'to': We do not use to here because we need a preposition to show purpose or audience, not a direction.

28 if

– Why it's right: We use if to introduce a condition. Chloe and her sister will only play the game together on the condition that her sister wants to play it.

– Why not 'because': Using because would mean her sister has already said yes to playing, but Chloe is still asking her.

29 the

– Why it's right: We use the definite article the because both Chloe and her sister know exactly which specific app store is on their tablets.

– Why not 'an': Even though the word 'app' starts with a vowel, we cannot use an because they are talking about one specific, known store, not just any store.

30 are

– Why it's right: The word are is the correct present simple form of the verb to be when we use it with the pronoun you.

– Why not 'is': We only use is with he, she, or it, and we never use it with you.

25 at

– Why it's right: We use the preposition 'at' to talk about a specific clock time.

– Why not 'in' or 'on': We use 'on' for days and 'in' for months, but never for exact times like 10 o'clock.

26 to

– Why it's right: The verb 'want' is followed by 'to' and the infinitive verb when we talk about actions we would like to do.

– Why not 'for': A common mistake is to say 'want for join', but 'want' always takes 'to' before a verb.

27 he

– Why it's right: 'Tom' is a boy, so we use the subject pronoun 'he' to replace his name before the verb 'can't'.

– Why not 'him': 'Him' is an object pronoun, but we need a subject pronoun here because he is the person doing the action.

28 at

– Why it's right: When we describe someone's abilities or skills, we use the phrase 'good at' followed by a noun or an -ing verb.

– Why not 'in': Many languages translate this as 'good in', but in English, you are always 'good at' a game or subject.

29 than

– Why it's right: We use the word 'than' after a comparative adjective (like 'better', 'taller', 'faster') to compare two people or things.

– Why not 'then': 'Then' is used to talk about time or what happens next, not for comparing things.

30 me

– Why it's right: The phrase 'let me know' is a very common fixed expression that means 'tell me' or 'give me information'.

– Why not 'I': We must use the object pronoun 'me' after the verb 'let', not the subject pronoun 'I'.

25 on

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition "on" before days of the week, like "on Friday" or "on Monday".

– Why not 'in': We use "in" for months and years, but we never use it for specific days.

26 are

– Why it's right: We need the verb "are" to make the present continuous tense (are planning) for the pronoun "we".

– Why not 'is': The word "is" is only used for singular subjects like "he", "she", or "it", not a plural group like "we".

27 us

– Why it's right: Zoe is talking about herself and her friends, so we need the object pronoun "us" after the verb "join".

– Why not 'we': The word "we" is a subject pronoun, so it cannot come after a verb in the middle of a sentence like this.

28 but

– Why it's right: We use "but" to show a contrast between two ideas: you don't have to bring anything, but it is an option if you want to.

– Why not 'so': The word "so" is used to talk about the result of something, which doesn't make sense here.

29 what

– Why it's right: We use "what" to ask for specific information, and it goes naturally with the word "time" to ask about hours.

– Why not 'when': We can ask "when is best", but we cannot put the word "when" directly in front of the noun "time".

30 to

– Why it's right: When you send something in the direction of another person, you must use the preposition "to".

– Why not 'for': We don't say "send it for you" when talking about the person receiving a message directly; "for" means doing a favor.
