Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Use correct tense, give a direct short answer then add one supporting detail with a linking word. Keep it natural and concise (max 5 sentences). For example, say you did not have one in the past and briefly explain why or what you used instead.

Exemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. Instead, I usually walked to school or relied on my parents to drive me, because our family couldn’t afford extra bikes at that time.

Sugestão: Correct subject–verb agreement and provide a more specific reason with linking words. State your opinion directly, then support it with specific evidence or comparison (e.g., cost, infrastructure, or cultural preference).

Exemplo: Not really. I don’t think bicycles are very popular in my country because they are relatively expensive compared with public transport, and many people prefer motorbikes or buses for convenience.

× No, I don't have a bike since then.

✓ No, I haven't had a bike since then.

The sentence refers to a situation that started in the past and continues to the present, so the present perfect tense is required. 'Don't have' is simple present and incorrect with 'since then'. Use 'haven't had' (present perfect) to show the continuity from the past to now. Suggestion: use present perfect with time expressions like 'since', e.g., 'I haven't had a bike since I was a child.'

× No, I don't think so because bikes is pricey.

✓ No, I don't think so because bikes are pricey.

The subject 'bikes' is plural, so the verb must agree and be plural as well. 'Is' is singular; use 'are'. Suggestion: check subject number (singular/plural) and choose the correct form of the verb 'to be' (is for singular, are for plural).
