Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer with the correct auxiliary verb: use “Yes, I did” for the question “Did you...?” Add one or two specific details, such as when you got the bike, how often you rode it, or where you used it. This will make your response more natural and complete.

Example: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was about seven, and I often rode it around my neighborhood after school.

Suggestion: Avoid repeating the same idea and correct the noun form: say “bikes” or “bicycles,” not “bicycle” in this general statement. Support your opinion with a specific reason or comparison, such as limited bike lanes, hot weather, or people’s preference for cars and public transportation.

Example: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. Most people prefer cars or public transportation because many cities do not have safe bike lanes.

× No, I don't. I don't think bicycle are popular in my country.

✓ No, I don't. I don't think bicycles are popular in my country.

The noun bicycle refers to one item, but the verb are and the general meaning of the sentence indicate that you are talking about bikes in general. Therefore, use the plural noun bicycles. The plural noun correctly agrees with are.
