Example: Yes, I think bicycles are very popular in my country because they are a cheap and convenient way to get around the city. For example, many people use bikes to commute to work or school, and several cities have bike lanes that make cycling safer. As a result, cycling is common among both young people and adults.
× Oh, sorry, I don't have a bike. Uh, when I be a child.
✓ Oh, sorry, I didn't have a bike. Uh, when I was a child.
The sentence refers to a past state (being a child), so the present tense 'don't have' and the incorrect 'be' are wrong. Use the past simple tense: 'didn't have' for possession and 'was' as the past form of 'be'. Suggestion: use past simple for past time references (e.g., 'When I was a child, I didn't have a bike').
× Yes, I think bicycle very popular in my country because it's very good transport for getting around the city and.
✓ Yes, I think bicycles are very popular in my country because they are a very good means of transport for getting around the city.
The noun 'bicycle' should be plural when speaking generally, and the verb must agree: use 'bicycles are'. Also 'it's' (it is) is incorrect for plural; use 'they are'. Replace 'transport' with 'means of transport' or 'transportation' for natural English. Remove the trailing 'and' or complete the sentence. Suggestion: use plural nouns and match verbs (subject-verb agreement), and complete the sentence fully.
