A2 Key for Schools (KET) Reading & Writing Part 5 Test – Digital Memories: Recounting Online & Gaming Events 3

25 on

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition "on" when we talk about doing activities using digital devices or screens (e.g., on a computer, on TV, on a tablet).

– Why not 'in': We never say "in a computer" because you interact with the screen on the surface, not the physical parts inside the machine.

26 to

– Why it's right: When we have two verbs together (forgot + save), we usually need "to" in the middle to create the infinitive form "forgot to save".

– Why not 'for': A common mistake is writing "forgot for save", but the preposition "for" can never be followed directly by a base action verb.

27 from

– Why it's right: We use the preposition "from" to show the starting point of an action. "From the beginning" is a very common fixed phrase.

– Why not 'at': You can say "at the beginning of the movie", but when you talk about starting an action over, you must start from that point.

28 the

– Why it's right: We always use the definite article "the" before superlative adjectives like "worst", "best", or "fastest" because there is only one top or bottom thing.

– Why not 'a': We cannot say "a worst" because "a" means one of many, but superlative words mean something is at the absolute bottom.

29 me

– Why it's right: We need the object pronoun "me" because it receives the action of the verb "help" and comes right after it.

– Why not 'I': We cannot say "help I" because "I" is a subject pronoun and is only used at the beginning of a sentence.

30 in

– Why it's right: We use the preposition "in" to talk about being inside an enclosed space or a specific room in a house.

– Why not 'on': You can sit "on" a bed, but when you are talking about the room itself, you must be "in" it.

25 to

– Why it's right: We always use to after the verb went when we talk about travelling towards a place or an event.

– Why not 'in': We use in to say where something is already located, not for movement towards a place.

26 because

– Why it's right: We use because to give a reason for a feeling or an action (he felt nervous because the YouTuber was better).

– Why not 'so': We use so to talk about a result, but here Felix is explaining the reason why he was nervous.

27 with

– Why it's right: We use with to show that two people are doing something together (taking a photo with someone).

– Why not 'by': We do not use by to talk about doing things together with another person.

28 going

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

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

29 me

– Why it's right: Let me know is a very common fixed phrase in English which simply means "tell me".

– Why not 'I': After the verb let, we must always use an object pronoun like me, never a subject pronoun like I.

30 on

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

– Why not 'at': We use at for exact clock times or the weekend, but never for specific days of the week.

25 because / as / since

– Why it's right: We use because to explain the reason why something happens. Wanting to check the phone is the reason why it was hard.

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

26 than

– Why it's right: We use than after a comparative adjective like better to compare two different situations or times (now and before).

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

27 to

– Why it's right: We use to before a base verb to explain why we do something or what we use something for. Here, the free time was to read.

– Why not 'for': We can use for with a noun (like time for a book), but before a base verb like read, we must always use to.

28 at

– Why it's right: In English, we always use the preposition at with the word night to talk about this time of day.

– Why not 'in': We use in for other parts of the day (like in the morning or in the evening), but we never say in night.

29 much

– Why it's right: We use much with uncountable nouns like time to talk about a large amount.

– Why not 'many': We use many for things we can count (like many hours or many days), but the word time is uncountable in this sentence.

30 a

– Why it's right: We use the indefinite article a when we talk about a single, countable thing for the first time.

– Why not 'the': We use the for a specific item that the reader already knows about, but the writer means any one comment in general.
