Test 1
Questions 25-30
For each question, write the correct answer. Write one word for each gap.
From: Lucy
To: Mark
Hi Mark,
How are you? I found an interesting online coding workshop for teenagers next weekend. I know you love computers, (25) ……………… I thought of you. We can learn how (26) ……………… make our own video games! I am sure it is going to (27) ……………… a really great experience for us.
(28) ……………… you want to do it with me? It starts (29) ……………… ten o'clock on Saturday morning, and it is completely free. Please let (30) ……………… know soon so I can send you the link.
See you,
Lucy
Answer Key & Explanations
25 so
– Why it's right: We use so to connect a reason (loving computers) with a result (thinking of him).
– Why not 'because': We use because before the reason, not before the result.
26 to
– Why it's right: After question words like how, we use to + the base verb (the infinitive) to talk about doing an action.
– Why not 'for': We say how to make; we never use for before a verb in this type of instruction.
27 be
– Why it's right: We need the base verb be after going to when we are talking about future predictions or situations.
– Why not 'is': We cannot use the present form is immediately after the word to.
28 Do
– Why it's right: We use Do at the beginning of a present simple question with the pronoun you.
– Why not 'Are': We use Do with the main verb want; we only use Are with adjectives, nouns, or verbs ending in -ing.
29 at
– Why it's right: We always use the preposition at when we talk about a specific time on a clock, like ten o'clock.
– Why not 'on': We use on for days of the week (like on Saturday), not for exact clock times.
30 me
– Why it's right: Let me know is a very common phrase that means 'tell me your answer later'. The object pronoun me is needed to refer to Lucy.
– Why not 'I': We must use an object pronoun like me after an action verb like let, not the subject pronoun I.
Test 2
Questions 25-30
For each question, write the correct answer. Write one word for each gap.
From: Ben
To: Leo
Hi Leo,
How are you? I'm writing to tell you about a fun new group on Discord. It is (25) ……………… people who love watching anime. I know you really like anime, (26) ……………… I think you will love this group! My older brother started it last week and (27) ……………… are already fifty people in it. We talk about our favorite shows and share funny pictures. (28) ……………… you want to join us? I can send (29) ……………… the link today. Please tell me (30) ……………… you want to join.
See you tomorrow,
Ben
Answer Key & Explanations
25 for
– Why it's right: We use 'for' to show who is meant to have, use, or enjoy something.
– Why not 'to': We can say something belongs 'to' someone, but a group is 'for' people to use.
26 so
– Why it's right: We use 'so' to link a reason with its result. Because Leo likes anime, the result is that he will love the group.
– Why not 'because': 'Because' gives the reason for something, but here we need a word to show what happens next.
27 there
– Why it's right: We use 'there are' to say that something exists in the plural form (fifty people).
– Why not 'they': We say 'they are' when talking about specific people we already mentioned, but 'there are' is used to introduce the fact that these people exist.
28 Do
– Why it's right: We use 'Do' at the beginning of a question in the present simple tense with 'you'.
– Why not 'Are': We use 'Are' with an -ing verb, but 'want' is a simple verb that needs the helper word 'Do' to make a question.
29 you
– Why it's right: We need an object pronoun here because Leo is the person receiving the link from Ben.
– Why not 'your': 'Your' is used to show that you own something (like 'your book'), not when an action is happening to you.
30 if
– Why it's right: We use 'if' when there is a choice or a question between yes and no.
– Why not 'that': Saying 'tell me that you want to join' sounds like an order, but Ben is politely asking Leo to make a choice.
Test 3
Questions 25-30
For each question, write the correct answer. Write one word for each gap.
From: Alice
To: Sara
Hi Sara,
How are you doing today? On Friday evening, some (25) ……………… my friends are going to play a virtual escape room game online. It is a really fun game, (26) ……………… we need one more person to join our team. (27) ……………… you like to play with us?
You don't have to pay anything, because my brother bought it (28) ……………… my birthday. We are going to start the game (29) ……………… seven o'clock. Please tell me if you can play with (30) ……………… !
See you at school tomorrow!
Answer Key & Explanations
25 of
– Why it's right: We use "of" after words like "some", "all", or "many" to talk about a part of a group, like "some of my friends".
– Why not 'from': You can get a letter "from" friends, but you cannot say "some from my friends" to describe a group of people.
26 but
– Why it's right: We use "but" to connect two different ideas. The game is already fun, but there is one small problem: they still need another person.
– Why not 'so': We use "so" to talk about a result, which does not fit the meaning of this sentence.
27 Would
– Why it's right: We always use "Would" with "you like to" when we want to invite someone to do something politely.
– Why not 'Do': We ask "Do you like" to ask about general hobbies, not to invite someone to a specific event.
28 for
– Why it's right: We use "for" to explain the occasion or reason why we bought a present, like "for my birthday" or "for Christmas".
– Why not 'to': We can say "give it to me", but we never use "to" before a special event like a birthday.
29 at
– Why it's right: We always use the preposition "at" before a specific time on a clock, like "at seven o'clock" or "at half past two".
– Why not 'on': We use "on" for days of the week like "on Friday", but never for times on a clock.
30 us
– Why it's right: Alice is talking about herself and her friends, so we need the object pronoun "us" after the preposition "with".
– Why not 'we': The word "we" is a subject pronoun, so it goes before a verb at the beginning of a sentence, not at the end after "with".
