A2 Key for Schools (KET) Reading & Writing Part 5 Test – Travel Invites: Trips, Tours & Transport 8

25 on

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

– Why not 'in': We use "in" for longer periods like months or years, but we must use "on" for specific days.

26 at

– Why it's right: We use the preposition "at" to talk about a specific clock time, like "10 o'clock".

– Why not 'on': We use "on" for days, but "at" is the only correct preposition for exact times of the day.

27 most

– Why it's right: We use "most" with long adjectives like "beautiful" to create the superlative form, especially after the word "the".

– Why not 'more': We use "more" when comparing two things, but "the" tells us this is the highest level, so we need "most".

28 with

– Why it's right: We use the preposition "with" to talk about doing an activity together alongside someone else.

– Why not 'to': You can go "to" a place, but you always travel or come "with" a person.

29 are

– Why it's right: We need the present simple verb "are" to correctly match the subject pronoun "you".

– Why not 'is': The verb "is" is only used with third-person singular subjects (he, she, it), never with "you".

30 to

– Why it's right: The verb "want" must be followed by "to" when it comes directly before another action verb (like "come").

– Why not 'for': We cannot say "want for come"; we always use "to" to create the infinitive form of the verb.

25 to

– Why it's right: We use the preposition "to" to show movement or direction towards a place, like travelling to the countryside.

– Why not 'in': We use "in" when we are already physically inside a place, not when we are travelling towards it.

26 are

– Why it's right: We need the auxiliary verb "are" to complete the "are going to" structure, which we use to talk about fixed future plans.

– Why not 'will': We cannot use "will" right before the word "going"; you must use a form of the verb to be.

27 of

– Why it's right: The word "of" is needed to complete the very common expression "lots of", which simply means a large amount.

– Why not 'for': "Lots for" is not a correct grammatical phrase to describe a quantity of something.

28 the

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

– Why not 'a': We cannot use "a" because superlatives describe one specific, unique thing that stands out from everything else.

29 on

– Why it's right: We use the preposition "on" when we talk about specific days of the week, like Friday.

– Why not 'in': We use "in" for longer periods of time like months or years, but not for specific days.

30 if

– Why it's right: We use "if" to introduce an indirect yes/no question, meaning Ella wants to know whether Leo can come or not.

– Why not 'that': Using "that" would make it a strict command ("ask your parents that you can come!"), which does not make sense for a polite invitation.

25 them

– Why it's right: We need the object pronoun them to replace the plural noun brochures so we do not have to repeat the word.

– Why not 'it': We don't use it because brochures is a plural word, and it is only used for singular nouns.

26 on

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition on when we talk about a specific day of the week, like Saturday.

– Why not 'in': We use in for months or parts of the day (like in the morning), but never right before a specific day.

27 with

– Why it's right: The preposition with is used to complete the common English phrase come with me, which means to join someone on an activity.

– Why not 'for': Saying come for me would mean Liam is coming to collect Noah, which does not make sense for an invitation to go somewhere together.

28 so

– Why it's right: We use the linking word so to show the result of a situation. The agency is close to the house, and the result is that they can walk there.

– Why not 'because': We don't use because here since the reason (it is very close) comes before the gap, not after it.

29 if

– Why it's right: We use if to ask a yes or no question indirectly. Noah wants to know the answer: Yes, you are free, or no, you are not.

– Why not 'when': If we use when, it means Noah already knows Liam is coming and just wants to know the exact time, which doesn't fit an invitation.

30 be

– Why it's right: We need the base verb be to complete the future tense structure will be to describe what the morning is going to be like.

– Why not 'is': We cannot use is because the verb to be must always stay in its base form after the modal verb will.
