A2 Key for Schools (KET) Reading & Writing Part 5 Test – Travel Tips: Recommending Routes, Rides & Destinations 7

25 to

– Why it's right: We use the preposition to to show movement or a trip towards a destination, like a country.

– Why not 'in': We use in to talk about being inside a country, but not for travelling towards one.

26 on

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

– Why not 'in': We use in for physical spaces like a book or a room, not for digital screens.

27 for

– Why it's right: We use the preposition for to explain the purpose of an object, like what a plug is used to do.

– Why not 'to': We can use to before an action verb (like to charge), but we must use for before a noun like phone charger.

28 If

– Why it's right: We use If to talk about a possible situation or condition. Oliver doesn't know if Sam will forget his plug, so it is just a possibility.

– Why not 'Because': We use because to explain a definite reason, but here Oliver is talking about something that might happen, not a true fact.

29 Are

– Why it's right: We need the auxiliary verb Are to complete the future form Are you going to. It always matches the subject pronoun you.

– Why not 'Do': We use Do for present simple questions about daily habits, not with the future phrase going to.

30 me

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

– Why not 'I': We cannot use the subject pronoun I directly after an action verb like let.

25 of

– Why it's right: We use of to complete the fixed quantifier phrase a lot of, which comes before nouns like information.

– Why not 'for': We cannot say a lot for information because for does not form a quantifier expression.

26 than

– Why it's right: We use than after comparative adjectives (like prettier) to compare two different places.

– Why not 'that': Students often confuse than and that because of their similar spelling, but that cannot be used in comparative sentences.

27 it

– Why it's right: We need the singular object pronoun it to refer back to the singular noun phrase a travel blog.

– Why not 'them': Them is used for plural nouns, but Ella is referring to one single blog.

28 Do

– Why it's right: We need the auxiliary verb Do to make a present simple question with the pronoun you.

– Why not 'Are': We cannot use Are here because the main verb (want) is in its base form, not an -ing form.

29 on

– Why it's right: We use the preposition on when talking about viewing content on screens or devices, like on my laptop or on my phone.

– Why not 'in': Students often guess in, but in English, we say on a laptop, not in a laptop.

30 me

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

– Why not 'I': You cannot use the subject pronoun I here because Ella is receiving the action of being informed.

25 at

– Why it's right: We use the preposition "at" to talk about arriving at a specific building or place, like a hotel or an airport.

– Why not 'in': We use "in" when we arrive in large areas like cities or countries (e.g., "arrived in London"), but not for individual buildings.

26 a

– Why it's right: We use the article "a" before a singular noun phrase (like "really nice place") to describe one general thing.

– Why not 'the': We use "the" for a specific place we already know about, but here Noah is just describing what kind of place it is for the first time.

27 to

– Why it's right: After the verb "need", we always use "to" plus another verb (like "ask") when we talk about an action that is necessary.

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

28 of

– Why it's right: We use the preposition "of" after the word "map" to explain exactly what place or area the map is showing.

– Why not 'for': We can use "for" to talk about purpose (like "a map for hiking"), but to show the location drawn on the map, we must use "of".

29 than

– Why it's right: We always use "than" right after a comparative adjective (like "better" or "bigger") to compare two different things.

– Why not 'that': "That" is a pronoun used to point at things; it is never used to compare two things in an English sentence.

30 Are

– Why it's right: We use the auxiliary verb "Are" at the beginning of a question to make the "be going to" future structure with the subject "you".

– Why not 'Do': We use "Do" to ask about everyday habits, but here we have the "going to" structure, so we must use "Are".
