A2 Key for Schools (KET) Reading & Writing Part 5 Test – Tech Recommendations: Suggesting Apps, Games & Content 2

25 to

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

– Why not 'for': We cannot use the preposition for immediately before a base action verb like tell.

26 because

– Why it's right: We use because to give a reason for an action. Helping beginners is the reason why she explains things so clearly.

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

27 am

– Why it's right: We use am with the pronoun I to make the be going to future form for plans (I am going to).

– Why not 'was': We use was for the past, but the words this weekend show that this is a plan for the future.

28 on

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition on when we are talking about specific days of the week, like Saturday.

– Why not 'in': We use in for months or years (like in November), but never for a specific day.

29 for

– Why it's right: We use the preposition for when someone gets, makes, or buys something to give to another person (buy something for us).

– Why not 'to': We never say buy something to someone; we always buy something for them.

30 me

– Why it's right: The phrase let me know is very common in English and means 'tell me your answer'. We need the object pronoun me to refer back to Emma.

– Why not 'I': We must use an object pronoun like me immediately after the action verb let, never the subject pronoun I.

25 to

– Why it's right: We always use 'to' after the verb 'want' when we talk about an action we desire or plan to do.

– Why not 'for': A very common learner mistake is to write 'want for tell', but 'want' must always be followed by the infinitive 'to' before the next verb.

26 a

– Why it's right: We always use the indefinite article 'a' to complete the very common fixed phrase 'a lot of'.

– Why not 'the': We cannot say 'the lot of' because this expression describing a large amount always requires the letter 'a'.

27 are

– Why it's right: We use 'there are' to talk about things that exist in the plural form ('no adverts').

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

28 Do

– Why it's right: We use the helper word 'Do' at the beginning of a question in the present simple tense with the pronoun 'you'.

– Why not 'Are': We use 'Are' with an -ing verb (like 'Are you trying?'), but 'want' is a simple base verb that needs 'Do' to make a question.

29 you

– Why it's right: We need an object pronoun here because Sam is the person receiving the link from Leo.

– Why not 'your': 'Your' is a possessive word used to show you own something (like 'your book'), but here we need a pronoun for the person receiving the action.

30 on

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition 'on' when we are talking about specific days of the week, like Saturday.

– Why not 'in': We use 'in' for months or years, but we never use it right next to days of the week.

25 are

– Why it's right: We need the verb "are" with the pronoun "you" to describe a feeling or state, like "you are happy" or "you are angry".

– Why not 'do': We use "do" for actions (like "do you play"), but "angry" is an adjective, so we must use the verb "to be".

26 to

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition "to" after the verb "need" when it is followed by an action, making the infinitive phrase "need to update".

– Why not 'for': We can have a "need for" a noun (like "a need for water"), but we never put "for" directly in front of a base verb.

27 but

– Why it's right: We use "but" to show a happy contrast. She had a bad problem in the past, but the opposite is true now because it works perfectly.

– Why not 'because': We use "because" to give a reason, but the phone working perfectly is not the reason why it was broken last month.

28 it

– Why it's right: We need the singular object pronoun "it" to replace the word "phone" so we don't have to repeat the noun.

– Why not 'them': The word "them" is only used to replace plural nouns, but Mia is only talking about one single phone.

29 on

– Why it's right: We use the preposition "on" when something is resting flat on top of a surface, like a phone resting on a desk.

– Why not 'in': We use "in" when something is inside a closed space or container, but the phone is sitting on top of the desk.

30 an

– Why it's right: We use the article "an" instead of "a" because the word "hour" starts with a vowel sound (the 'h' is silent).

– Why not 'a': Even though "hour" starts with a consonant letter, it sounds like it starts with an "o", so we cannot use "a".
