A2 Key for Schools (KET) Reading & Writing Part 5 Test – Digital Invites: Sharing Screens & Media Experiences 7

25 a

– Why it's right: We use the word "a" before a singular, countable noun phrase (new digital comic book) when we mention it for the first time.

– Why not 'the': We cannot use "the" here because Leo does not know about this specific comic book yet.

26 with

– Why it's right: We use the preposition "with" to show that two or more people are doing an activity together.

– Why not 'for': If you write "write it for me", it means Leo does all the work as a favour, but Harry wants them to do it together.

27 on

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition "on" to talk about things we find using computers or digital platforms, like "on the internet" or "on a website".

– Why not 'in': A common mistake is writing "in the internet", but digital networks are treated as surfaces in English, so we must use "on".

28 me

– Why it's right: We use the object pronoun "me" because it receives the action of the verb "let". "Let me know" is a very common phrase to ask for a reply.

– Why not 'I': We cannot write "let I know" because "I" is a subject pronoun and only goes at the start of a clause, not right after a verb.

29 are

– Why it's right: We need the auxiliary verb "are" to match the plural pronoun "We" and complete the future plan structure "are going to".

– Why not 'will': While "will" also describes the future, we cannot say "We will going" because "will" is never followed by an -ing word.

30 from

– Why it's right: We use the preposition "from" to complete the common expression "hear from [someone]", which means to receive a message or reply from them.

– Why not 'of': You can say "hear of" when you learn that something exists, but when you wait for a direct message from a person, it must be "hear from".

25 the

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

– Why not 'a': We cannot use a because there is only one biggest event of the year, not many.

26 going

– Why it's right: We use going after the verb are and before to when we talk about future plans (are going to be).

– Why not 'go': We cannot use the base verb go after are in this future tense structure.

27 at

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition at when we talk about a specific clock time, like ten o'clock.

– Why not 'on': We use on for days of the week (like on Saturday), but not for exact clock times.

28 than

– Why it's right: We use than when we are comparing two people or things (better than I am).

– Why not 'then': Then is used to talk about time (meaning "next"), but it is never used for comparing things.

29 If

– Why it's right: We use If to introduce a condition or possibility (meaning "in case you want to come").

– Why not 'So': So is used to talk about a result, but here we need a word to start a conditional sentence.

30 for

– Why it's right: We use for when someone receives something or benefits from an action (like buying tickets for someone).

– Why not 'to': We don't say buy tickets to us because to is usually used to talk about direction or movement.

25 have / 've

– Why it's right: We use the auxiliary verb have with the past participle finished to form the present perfect tense. The word just shows the action happened very recently.

– Why not 'am': You cannot say I am just finished making because we use have, not the verb to be, to create this tense.

26 because / as / since

– Why it's right: We use because to give a reason. Leo loving space is the reason why Oliver thinks he will enjoy the game.

– Why not 'but': The word but is used to show a contrast or difference, not to explain why something happens.

27 for

– Why it's right: When we do a favor to help another person, we use the preposition for. Oliver is asking Leo to do the testing for him.

– Why not 'to': We can say give it to me, but when someone does an action as a helpful favor, the correct preposition is for.

28 from / off

– Why it's right: When we get a file or a game out of a source like a website, we use the preposition from.

– Why not 'in': We can say information is on the internet, but when we download a file, we always take it from the internet.

29 than

– Why it's right: We use than after a comparative adjective like better to compare two different things (the new game and the older games).

– Why not 'that': That looks and sounds very similar to than, but it is a pronoun, not a word used for comparing things.

30 me

– Why it's right: We need an object pronoun here. The phrase let me know is a very common A2 expression that means 'tell me later'.

– Why not 'I': We cannot say let I know because I is a subject pronoun, and this position in the sentence requires the object pronoun me.
