Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer in the past tense because the question asks about your childhood. Use “belonged to” rather than “was belonging to,” and state clearly that you and your brother shared the bike. You can remove the hesitation and keep the answer concise.

Example: Yes, I did. It belonged to my older brother, but we shared it when we were children. I usually rode it around our neighborhood.

Suggestion: Give a clear opinion first, then support it with one or two relevant details. The current answer is difficult to understand and contains conflicting ideas about whether people use bikes. Use simple, accurate phrases such as “bikes aren’t very popular” and “only a few people ride them.” Avoid unclear expressions like “using their course” and “using cardboard.”

Example: Bikes aren’t very popular in my country. In my area, only a few people ride them, and most people use other forms of transport to get around. As a result, cycling isn’t a common part of daily life.

× Yes, I have a bike

✓ Yes, I had a bike

The question asks about a time in the past, so the answer should use the past-tense form had rather than the present-tense form have.

× it wasn't belonging to me, it was belonging to my brother

✓ It didn't belong to me; it belonged to my brother.

Belong describes a state and is not normally used in the continuous form. Use the simple past: didn't belong and belonged.

× But we used to, uh, use it like both of us.

✓ But both of us used to use it.

The phrase like both of us does not fit grammatically in this sentence. Put both of us before the verb phrase to make clear that the two people shared the bike.

× there are lots of people who are preferring it

✓ There are lots of people who prefer it.

Prefer generally describes a state or opinion, so it is normally used in the simple form, not the continuous form are preferring.

× But no one even using a motorcycle or a bike

✓ But no one even uses a motorcycle or a bike.

The original clause has no finite verb. Use uses to form a complete present-tense clause; no one is grammatically singular.

× you can find this two or three

✓ You can find these two or three.

The demonstrative must agree in number with the plural quantity two or three. Use these rather than this.

× We wanna just using cardboard

✓ We just want to use cardboard.

After want to, use the base form of the verb. Use use, not using. Wanna is an informal spoken form of want to.

× if they don't have a car so they will go to anywhere they want with

✓ If they don't have a car, they will go anywhere they want.

Do not use so after an if-clause in this conditional structure; the result clause follows the comma directly. The ending with is also unnecessary here.

× go to anywhere they want

✓ go anywhere they want

Do not put to before anywhere when it expresses the destination of go. Say go anywhere, not go to anywhere.
