A2 Key for Schools (KET) Reading & Writing Part 5 Test – Tech Recommendations: Suggesting Apps, Games & Content 8

25 to

– Why it's right: We use to before a base action verb like share to explain the purpose of the 'way' or method we are talking about.

– Why not 'for': We cannot use the preposition for immediately before a base action verb like share.

26 on

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition on when we talk about information, pages, or things we find on the internet or on a website.

– Why not 'in': We use in for physical spaces like a box or a room, but never for the internet.

27 of

– Why it's right: We use the preposition of to complete the phrase all of, which we use to talk about the whole amount of a specific group of things (our documents).

– Why not 'from': We never use the word from to describe a quantity or amount of a group in English.

28 than

– Why it's right: We must use than after a comparative adjective like faster to show that we are comparing two different things.

– Why not 'then': We use then to talk about time (what happens next), but we only use than for comparisons.

29 Do

– Why it's right: We use Do at the beginning of a present simple question with the pronoun you and a main base verb like want.

– Why not 'Are': We use Are with adjectives or verbs ending in -ing, but never with a base action verb like want.

30 you

– Why it's right: We need the object pronoun you to refer back to Leo, who is the person receiving the link at the end of the sentence.

– Why not 'your': We use the word your to show that an object belongs to someone (like your phone), but here we just need a pronoun to replace the person.

25 but

– Why it's right: We use 'but' to connect two opposite ideas. The monster being difficult is a negative idea, and being able to help is a positive idea.

– Why not 'so': We use 'so' to show the result of something, but here we need a word to show a contrast between the problem and the solution.

26 on

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition 'on' when we talk about finding things using digital screens, like 'on the internet' or 'on a website'.

– Why not 'in': We use 'in' for physical, 3D spaces like rooms or boxes, but never for the internet.

27 of

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition 'of' to complete the very common fixed phrase 'a lot of', which means a large amount.

– Why not 'with': We cannot say 'a lot with' because this phrase describing a large number of things always requires the word 'of'.

28 because

– Why it's right: We use 'because' to introduce the reason for something. The reason you will win easily is that the tips on the website are great.

– Why not 'so': 'So' introduces what happens next as a result, but here we are explaining the reason for the previous statement.

29 to

– Why it's right: The verb 'want' is always followed by 'to' and an infinitive verb when we ask someone about their desires or make an offer.

– Why not 'for': Many learners make the mistake of saying 'want me for send', but 'want' must always take 'to' before the next action verb.

30 on

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition 'on' when we are talking about specific days of the week, like Saturday.

– Why not 'in': We use 'in' for months or years, but we never use it right next to days of the week.

25 are

– Why it's right: We need the verb "are" to make the future structure "are going to" for the pronoun "you".

– Why not 'do': We use "do" for present simple routines, but we must use the verb "to be" with the "going to" future form.

26 to

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition "to" after the verb "need" when it is followed by an action, making the infinitive phrase "need to check".

– Why not 'for': We can have a "need for" a noun (like a need for water), but we never put "for" directly in front of a base verb.

27 on

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition "on" when we talk about digital devices and screens, like "on your phone" or "on the computer".

– Why not 'in': We use "in" for things inside physical containers or closed spaces, but never for digital apps on a phone.

28 because

– Why it's right: We use "because" to give a reason for an action. Downloading the app is a good idea, and the reason is that it is free.

– Why not 'so': We use "so" to show the result of a situation, not to explain a reason.

29 it

– Why it's right: The word "app" is a singular noun, so we need the singular object pronoun "it" to replace it.

– Why not 'them': The word "them" is only used to replace plural nouns, but Ruby is talking about one single app.

30 Do

– Why it's right: We use the auxiliary verb "Do" at the beginning of a question in the present simple tense (Do you want).

– Why not 'Are': We use "Are" if the main verb ends in "-ing" (Are you wanting), but here we have the base verb "want".
