Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be careful with verb tense and subject-verb agreement. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two concise supporting details. Use past simple consistently for past events and correct verb forms (e.g., 'I had a bike', 'It was white and had a basket'). Avoid repeating unnecessary words.

Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My grandmother gave it to me, and it was white with a small basket on the front. I rode it around the neighborhood almost every day in summer.

Sugestão: Give a direct topic sentence, then support it with specific reasons and accurate grammar. Use linking words (for example, 'because' or 'especially because') and correct noun/verb forms ('people use bikes', 'vehicles that use fuel'). Be concise and avoid vague phrases like 'some or a lot'.

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially since fuel prices rose. Because cycling is cheaper and often faster in congested cities, many people now use bikes instead of fuel-powered vehicles, particularly for short trips.

× Yes, when I was a child I have a bike.

✓ Yes, when I was a child I had a bike.

The sentence mixes past time reference 'when I was a child' with a present tense verb 'have'. Use past tense 'had' to match the time frame. Suggestion: use past simple for actions or states that occurred in the past ('I had a bike').

× It was white and has a basket in front of it.

✓ It was white and had a basket in front of it.

The sentence begins in past tense with 'It was' but then uses present tense 'has'. Maintain consistent past tense for both clauses: 'had'. Suggestion: keep verb tenses consistent within the same time frame.

× Some or a lot of people use bike instead of vehicles that uses fuel.

✓ Some people or a lot of people use bikes instead of vehicles that use fuel.

There are two errors: count noun agreement and subject-verb agreement in the relative clause. 'Bike' should be plural 'bikes' after 'use'. Also 'vehicles that uses' uses singular verb 'uses' with plural subject 'vehicles'; correct verb is 'use'. Suggestion: match singular/plural forms ('bikes') and ensure verbs agree with their subjects ('vehicles that use').
