✓ Umm yeah, I had a bike when I was a child and I really loved it and my dad taught me how to ride a bike.
Errors: incorrect tense usage (present instead of past) and incorrect verb forms. Use past simple for completed actions in the past: 'have' -> 'had'; 'were' (wrong form) -> 'was'; 'love' -> 'loved'. Also 'was taught me' is wrong: after 'taught' do not use passive 'was' here; correct is 'my dad taught me'. Infinitive 'to ride' is required after 'taught me how' + infinitive or 'how to ride'. Suggestion: use past simple consistently for past events and use correct verb forms and structures.
× So I start umm, ride a bike early when they were like 6 years old maybe.
✓ So I started riding a bike early, when I was about six years old, maybe.
Errors: wrong tense and subject pronoun. 'Start' should be past 'started' for a past time reference. After 'start' (or 'started') use the gerund 'riding' to indicate the activity. 'They were like 6 years old' is incorrect because the speaker refers to themselves: use 'I was about six years old'. Also spell out numbers in words for clarity. Suggestion: use past simple + gerund for actions begun in the past and match the correct subject pronoun.
× Umm, yeah, I live in Russia and people here are really interested in bikes and different boys really love ride it.
✓ Umm, yeah, I live in Russia and people here are really interested in bikes and many boys really love riding them.
Errors: incorrect verb form after 'love' and incorrect quantifier/adjective 'different boys' and pronoun agreement. After 'love' use gerund 'riding' when referring to an activity. 'Different boys' is unnatural; use 'many boys' to mean 'a lot of boys'. 'Ride it' uses singular pronoun for plural noun 'bikes'; use 'them'. Suggestion: use 'love' + gerund, choose correct quantifiers ('many'), and keep pronoun number consistent with the noun.
