Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 60.0Sugestão: Answer addresses the question but has grammar and vocabulary mistakes and choppy sentences. Use correct subject-verb agreement ('bikes are'), avoid repeating 'bike' as a verb awkwardly, connect ideas with linking words (for example, 'because' and 'moreover'), and provide one specific reason or example to support your opinion.
Exemplo: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them to commute to work — it is cheaper and often faster in congested cities. In addition, cycling is popular for fitness, and many cities have dedicated bike lanes which encourage people to ride.
× As far as I remember, I used to rode the bike to the convenience store near my house.
✓ As far as I remember, I used to ride the bike to the convenience store near my house.
The phrase 'used to' is followed by the base form of the verb, not the past tense. 'Rode' is the simple past; after 'used to' you must use 'ride'. Use 'used to ride' to indicate a past habitual action.
× Yes, of course bike are popular in my country because they can bike to work.
✓ Yes, of course bikes are popular in my country because people can ride bikes to work.
The subject 'bike' is singular but refers to the general category; use plural 'bikes' for general statements. Also 'they can bike to work' is ambiguous: 'people can ride bikes' is clearer. Ensure subject and verb agreement and use correct verb 'ride' for the action.
× Convenient.
✓ They are convenient.
A single adjective 'Convenient.' is a sentence fragment lacking a subject and verb. To be a complete sentence, include subject and verb: 'They are convenient.' or combine with previous sentence for fluency.
× Moreover, bike are also good for exercise.
✓ Moreover, bikes are also good for exercise.
'Bike' should be plural 'bikes' when speaking generally. With plural subject 'bikes' use plural verb 'are'. This fixes subject-verb agreement for general statements.
