Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the question directly and use the correct tense. “I don’t type” is unrelated and appears to be a pronunciation or word-choice error. You could say whether you had a bike and add a brief reason or detail. Use the past tense because the question refers to your childhood.

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my parents thought it was unsafe. Instead, I usually played football with my friends.

Suggestion: State your opinion clearly and use accurate grammar. For example, say “Bikes used to be very popular, but they aren’t as popular now.” Use the present tense to describe the current situation, and add a specific reason or comparison to support your answer. Also, pronounce and spell “bikes” clearly.

Example: Bikes used to be very popular in my country, but they are less common now. Many people prefer cars or public transportation because they are more convenient for commuting. However, bikes are still popular among students and people who enjoy exercising.

× No, I don't type.

✓ No, I didn't.

The question asks about a past situation: when you were a child. Therefore, use the past auxiliary did, not the present auxiliary do. The verb type is also incorrect here; the natural short answer is No, I didn't.

× Baks was used too popular but it is now.

✓ Bikes used to be popular, but they aren't now.

Use used to be to describe a past situation that was true in the past. The adjective popular needs the linking verb be. Because bikes is plural, use the pronoun they instead of it. The phrase but they aren't now completes the contrast clearly. Note that Bikes replaces the apparent spelling error Baks.
