A2 Key for Schools (KET) Reading & Writing Part 5 Test – Travel Itineraries: Planning Routes & Vacations 7

25 for

– Why it's right: We use the preposition for to show who will receive something. We buy a present for someone.

– Why not 'to': We say give something to someone, but we always buy something for someone.

26 of

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

– Why not 'with': We cannot say a lot with when we want to talk about a large number of things or people in English.

27 am / 'm

– Why it's right: We need the auxiliary verb am to make the future form am going to. It always matches the subject pronoun I.

– Why not 'are': We use are with you, we, or they, but we must always use am with the pronoun I.

28 in

– Why it's right: We use the preposition in when we talk about being physically inside a three-dimensional space, like a building or a hotel room.

– Why not 'on': We use on to talk about being on top of flat surfaces (like on a table or on the floor), not for being enclosed inside a room.

29 much

– Why it's right: We use how much to ask about the amount of an uncountable noun. The word money is always uncountable in English.

– Why not 'many': We use many for things we can count (like coins, notes, or shops), but we cannot use it with the general word money.

30 than

– Why it's right: We always use than when we are comparing two different things. Here, the expensive shops in Italy are being compared to the shops in their town.

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

25 to

– Why it's right: We use to before a base verb (walk) to complete the going to structure for future plans.

– Why not 'for': We cannot use for before a base verb to show a future plan or intention.

26 on

– Why it's right: We use the preposition on when talking about storing or viewing information on electronic devices, like on a phone or on a computer.

– Why not 'in': Students often guess in our phones, but in English, the correct preposition for screens and digital devices is on.

27 any

– Why it's right: We use any with uncountable nouns (like internet) when the sentence is negative ("might not be").

– Why not 'some': We usually use some in positive sentences, but this sentence has a negative meaning.

28 have

– Why it's right: We need the auxiliary verb have to complete the present perfect tense with the past participle saved (have already saved).

– Why not 'am': We do not use the verb to be (am) with a past participle to create this tense.

29 It

– Why it's right: We need the subject pronoun It to replace "a good map" at the beginning of the new sentence, because a map is a thing.

– Why not 'He': A map is an object, not a person, so we cannot use a pronoun for a person.

30 me

– Why it's right: We need the object pronoun me to complete the common phrase let me know, which means "tell me".

– Why not 'I': You cannot use the subject pronoun I here because Grace is receiving the action of the verb let.

25 on

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

– Why not 'in': We use "in" for general parts of the day (like "in the morning"), but we must use "on" when the day of the week is mentioned.

26 to

– Why it's right: After the verb "need", we always use "to" plus another verb (like "book") to talk about an action we must do.

– Why not 'for': We can use "for" right before a noun, but we must always use "to" right before a main verb.

27 at

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition "at" to talk about specific and exact times on a clock, like "at four o'clock".

– Why not 'in': We use "in" to measure a length of time (like "in an hour"), but we never use it for exact clock times.

28 is

– Why it's right: We need the verb "is" to complete the "be going to" grammar structure for future plans with the singular subject "it".

– Why not 'are': We use "are" for plural subjects like "we" or "they", but we must use "is" for the singular word "it".

29 so

– Why it's right: We use "so" to connect a situation to its result. Oliver has a lot of homework (the situation), so he does not have time to call (the result).

– Why not 'because': "Because" is used to introduce a reason, but here the reason is in the first half of the sentence, not the second.

30 me

– Why it's right: We use the object pronoun "me" right after verbs like "let" or "tell" because Oliver is the person receiving the action.

– Why not 'I': "I" is a subject pronoun used for doing an action, but here we need an object pronoun to receive the message.
