A2 Key for Schools (KET) Reading & Writing Part 5 Test – Digital Memories: Recounting Online & Gaming Events 6

25 because

– Why it's right: We use because to give a reason for something. Leo is happy, and the pop star being his favourite is the reason why.

– Why not 'so': We use so to talk about a result, but here we need a word that explains the cause.

26 to

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition to after the verb listen when we mention what we are hearing (listen + to + music/song).

– Why not 'at': We say look at something, but we must always say listen to something.

27 the

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

– Why not 'a': We never use a with superlative words because there is only one 'best' singer, not many.

28 on

– Why it's right: We use the preposition on when we talk about keeping information, apps, or pictures on electronic devices like a phone or computer.

– Why not 'in': We do not use in for digital files or mobile devices because we look at them flat on a screen, not inside a physical box.

29 to

– Why it's right: We use to after the word going when we talk about our future plans and intentions (going to + the base verb).

– Why not 'for': We never use for immediately before a base action verb like show when discussing plans.

30 me

– Why it's right: We need the object pronoun me to refer back to Leo after the preposition for (wait for me).

– Why not 'I': We never use the subject pronoun I after a preposition; I only does the main action at the beginning of a phrase.

25 so

– Why it's right: We use 'so' to link a reason with its result. The reason is the website was free, and the result is the writer didn't have to pay.

– Why not 'because': 'Because' gives the reason for something, but here we need a word to introduce what happened as a result.

26 at

– Why it's right: The verb 'look' is always followed by the preposition 'at' when we focus our eyes on a specific object.

– Why not 'to': We can 'point to' or 'walk to' something, but in English, we always 'look at' things.

27 than

– Why it's right: We use 'than' after a comparative adjective (like 'bigger', 'better', or 'faster') when we are comparing two things.

– Why not 'that': 'That' sounds and looks similar, but it is not used for comparing things in English grammar.

28 the

– Why it's right: We always use the article 'the' before a superlative adjective like 'most exciting', 'best', or 'biggest'.

– Why not 'a': We cannot use 'a' here because a superlative means there is only one "most exciting" thing, making it specific.

29 are

– Why it's right: We use 'there are' to say that something exists in the plural form ('lots of other interesting rooms').

– Why not 'is': We use 'there is' for singular nouns, but 'rooms' is plural.

30 to

– Why it's right: The verb 'want' is always followed by 'to' and an infinitive verb when we talk about our desires or plans.

– Why not 'for': A very common learner mistake is to write 'want for visit', but 'want' must always take 'to' before the next action.

25 to

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition "to" after the verb "want" when it is followed by another action, like "want to tell" or "want to go".

– Why not 'for': We cannot say "want for tell" because we never put "for" directly in front of a base verb.

26 in

– Why it's right: We use the preposition "in" when someone is inside a room with walls, like "in my bedroom" or "in the kitchen".

– Why not 'at': We use "at" for specific locations or buildings like "at school", but for the rooms inside a house, we always use "in".

27 the

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

– Why not 'a': We use "a" to talk about one general thing, but a superlative means it is the number one scariest thing, so we need "the".

28 for

– Why it's right: We use the preposition "for" to talk about a length or duration of time, like "for a long time" or "for two hours".

– Why not 'since': We use "since" to talk about the starting point of an event (like "since 8 o'clock"), but "a long time" is a measured duration.

29 was

– Why it's right: We need the past simple verb "was" because Mia is talking about an event that happened "last night", and the pronoun "nothing" takes a singular verb.

– Why not 'is': The word "is" is used for the present tense, but this scary event already finished in the past.

30 me

– Why it's right: Mia is asking Alex to contact her, so we need the object pronoun "me" after the action verb "let".

– Why not 'I': The word "I" is a subject pronoun, which means it starts a sentence before a verb, but it cannot come after the verb.
