A2 Key for Schools (KET) Reading & Writing Part 5 Test – Digital Memories: Recounting Online & Gaming Events 7

25 on

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition "on" when we talk about things we do using websites, digital platforms, or screens (e.g., on the internet, on a computer).

– 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".

26 going

– Why it's right: We use "going" to complete the future plan structure "be going to" (+ verb). Here, it connects "I am" with "to buy".

– Why not 'will': A common mistake is writing "I am will", but we never use the modal verb "will" together with the verb "to be" (am) and "to".

27 the

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

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

28 to

– Why it's right: We use the preposition "to" after a movement verb (like ride, go, or walk) to show our destination or where we are travelling.

– Why not 'in': You can ride your bike in the park once you arrive, but to describe the journey from your house to the park, you must use "to".

29 Do

– Why it's right: We use the auxiliary verb "Do" at the beginning of a question in the present simple tense when the subject is "you" and the main verb is an action (want).

– Why not 'Are': We cannot ask "Are you want" because the verb "to be" (are) cannot be followed directly by a base action verb.

30 me

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

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

25 of

– Why it's right: We use of in the fixed phrase lots of (or a lot of) to talk about a large amount of something.

– Why not 'for': We cannot say lots for; the correct preposition to complete this quantity phrase is always of.

26 on

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

– Why not 'in': We do not say in the internet because digital pages are treated as surfaces we look at, not physical spaces we go inside.

27 the

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

– Why not 'a': We cannot use a because there is only one best group of photos, not many.

28 going

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

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

29 to

– Why it's right: We always use to after the verb want when it is followed by another action (want to do something).

– Why not 'for': Students often confuse to and for, but we never say want for use before a base verb in English.

30 on

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

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

25 so

– Why it's right: We use so to link a reason with a result. The videos looking boring is the reason, and deciding to edit them is the result.

– Why not 'because': The word because comes before the reason, but this gap needs a word that introduces the result.

26 a

– Why it's right: We use the indefinite article a when we talk about a single, countable thing for the first time. The writer is introducing this new program to the readers.

– Why not 'the': We use the for a specific item that the reader already knows about, but the writer has not named this specific program yet.

27 to

– Why it's right: We use to before a base verb to explain what an adjective refers to. The program was free to download.

– Why not 'for': We can say a program is for downloading, but before a base verb like download, we must always use the infinitive marker to.

28 there

– Why it's right: We use there with the verb were to talk about the existence of something in the past. The phrase there were is the past tense of there are.

– Why not 'they': We use they to replace a plural noun, but this sentence needs there to introduce the fact that buttons existed on the screen.

29 can

– Why it's right: We use the modal verb can to talk about an ability in the present. Now that the writer has watched the help videos, they have the ability to do it easily.

– Why not 'am': We cannot say I am do it because the auxiliary verb am must be followed by an -ing verb, not a base verb.

30 about

– Why it's right: We use the preposition about to show the subject or topic of something, like a book, a story, or a video.

– Why not 'of': We can say a photo of a cat, but when talking about the topic of a video or a story, we normally use about.
