A2 Key for Schools (KET) Reading & Writing Part 5 Test – Tech Recommendations: Suggesting Apps, Games & Content 6

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 about

– Why it's right: We use the preposition about after the verb talk to introduce the specific subject or topic of the conversation.

– Why not 'of': We can sometimes say think of something, but we must always say talk about a topic.

27 because

– Why it's right: We use because to give a reason for something. Lily reading a lot of stories is the reason why she will love the website.

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

28 of

– Why it's right: We must use the preposition of to complete the fixed phrase lots of, which we use to talk about a large number or amount of something.

– Why not 'from': We never use the word from to describe a quantity in English; the phrase is always lots of.

29 Do

– Why it's right: We use Do at the beginning of a present simple question with the pronoun you and a main base verb like want.

– Why not 'Are': We use Are with adjectives or verbs ending in -ing, but never with a base action verb like want.

30 you

– Why it's right: We need the object pronoun you to refer back to Lily, who is the person receiving the link at the end of the sentence.

– Why not 'your': We use the word your to show that an object belongs to someone (like your phone), but here we need an object pronoun.

25 in

– Why it's right: We use the preposition 'in' when we talk about being inside a 3D space or place, like a room, a country, or a 'world'.

– Why not 'on': We use 'on' for flat surfaces (like 'on a table'), not for 3D spaces that surround you.

26 than

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

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

27 but

– Why it's right: We use 'but' to connect two contrasting or opposite ideas. The game being expensive is a negative point, and loving it is a positive point.

– Why not 'because': 'Because' gives a reason for something, but here we need a word to show a contrast between the price and how fun it is.

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 playing?'), but 'want' is a simple base verb that needs 'Do' to make a question.

29 us

– Why it's right: We use the object pronoun 'us' because Harry and Sam (two people) are the ones receiving the action of being taken by the dad.

– Why not 'we': 'We' is a subject pronoun used for the people doing an action, but we need an object pronoun here after the verb 'take'.

30 me

– Why it's right: The phrase 'let me know' is a very common fixed expression that simply means 'tell me' or 'give me information'.

– Why not 'I': We must use the object pronoun 'me' after the verb 'let', not the subject pronoun 'I', because Harry is the person receiving the information.

25 to

– Why it's right: When we hand an object in the direction of another person, we use the preposition "to" after the verb "give".

– Why not 'for': We can do homework "for" a teacher, but we must "give it to" them when we hand it in.

26 on

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition "on" when we talk about digital networks and screens, like "on the internet", "on TV", or "on my phone".

– Why not 'in': We use "in" for physical places with boundaries (like "in a room"), but never for the internet.

27 to

– Why it's right: We always use the preposition "to" after adjectives like "easy", "hard", or "difficult" when they are followed by an action verb (easy to use).

– Why not 'for': We can say "easy for me", but we never put "for" directly in front of a base verb.

28 it

– Why it's right: The word "text" is a singular noun, so we need the singular object pronoun "it" to replace it.

– Why not 'them': The word "them" is only used to replace plural nouns, but Grace is talking about one piece of text.

29 Would

– Why it's right: We always use "Would" with the phrase "you like to" when we want to make a polite offer to a friend.

– Why not 'Do': We ask "Do you like" to ask about someone's general hobbies, not to offer them a helpful link right now.

30 what

– Why it's right: When we want to know someone's opinion about an idea, we always ask "what you think".

– Why not 'how': In English, we can ask "how do you feel", but it is grammatically incorrect to say "how do you think".
