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

25 a

– Why it's right: We use the article "a" before a singular, countable noun phrase (new fantasy football league) when we tell someone about it for the very first time.

– Why not 'the': We cannot use "the" here because the reader does not know about this specific league yet.

26 to

– Why it's right: After the phrase "would like", we always need "to" before the next verb to make the infinitive form (would like to join).

– Why not 'for': A common mistake is writing "would like for join", but "for" is a preposition and must be followed by a noun or an -ing word, not a base verb.

27 not

– Why it's right: We use "not" with the helping verb "do" to make a negative sentence in the present simple tense (you do not have to).

– Why not 'no': We cannot say "you do no have to" because "no" is used directly before a noun (like "no money"), but here we are making a verb negative.

28 about

– Why it's right: When we discuss a specific topic, we use the preposition "about" to complete the phrase "talk about [something]".

– Why not 'of': We do not usually say "talk of the matches" in everyday, informal English; "talk about" is the correct and most natural phrase here.

29 so

– Why it's right: We use "so" as a linking word to connect a reason (you love watching football) to its logical result (I am sure you will enjoy this game).

– Why not 'because': "Because" introduces the reason itself. Since the reason comes first in this sentence, we need "so" to introduce the result.

30 me

– Why it's right: We need the object pronoun "me" because it receives the action of the verb "let". "Let me know" is a very common phrase to ask for an answer or 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, never directly after a verb.

25 on

– Why it's right: We use on when we talk about things we see or use on screens, like on a phone, on a computer, or on TV.

– Why not 'in': We don't say in my phone because the app is stored and used on the screen, not physically inside the device.

26 at

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition at after the adjective good when we talk about being talented at an activity (good at singing).

– Why not 'in': Many learners want to say good in, but in English, the correct phrase is always good at doing something.

27 to

– Why it's right: We always use to after the verb want when it is followed by another action (want to come).

– Why not 'for': Students often confuse to and for, but we never use for before a base verb in English.

28 them

– Why it's right: We use the pronoun them to replace plural nouns. Here, it takes the place of the funny videos.

– Why not 'it': We use it for just one thing, but videos is a plural word, so we must use them.

29 the

– Why it's right: We always use the definite article the before superlative adjectives like best, biggest, or fastest.

– Why not 'a': We cannot use a because there is only one best afternoon in this context, not many.

30 If

– Why it's right: We use If to introduce a condition or a possibility (meaning "in case you want to come").

– Why not 'So': We use so to talk about a result, but here we need a word to start a conditional sentence.

25 so

– Why it's right: We use so to link a reason with a result. Loving technology is the reason, and starting the channel is the result.

– Why not 'because': Students often confuse these, but because comes before the reason, not the result.

26 the

– Why it's right: We always use the definite article the before a superlative adjective like best.

– Why not 'a': We cannot say a best because there can only be one 'best' thing, making it a specific, definite item.

27 at

– Why it's right: When we direct our eyes to look directly at a thing, a person, or a screen, we use the preposition at.

– Why not 'to': We can say listen to, but the verb look must be followed by at in this context.

28 it

– Why it's right: The pronoun it is used to replace a singular noun that has already been mentioned (Max's channel).

– Why not 'them': You would use them for plural words, but a channel is only one thing.

29 because / as / since

– Why it's right: We use because to explain the reason why something happens. Max thinks Leo will like the videos because of his interest in games.

– Why not 'but': The word but is used for showing a difference or contrast, not for giving a reason.

30 on

– Why it's right: In English, we always use the preposition on before days of the week (like Monday, Tuesday).

– Why not 'in': We use in for months or years (like in May), but never for specific days.
