Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Use the past tense because the question asks about your childhood: say “I had” rather than “I have.” Add one brief detail, such as what the bike looked like or where you rode it.

Example: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bike when I was a child, and I often rode it around my neighborhood.

Suggestion: Your answer gives a clear opinion and a reason, but correct the subject–verb agreement: use “almost every family has” and “every student has.” Say “on my campus,” and use “walk” instead of “work.” You could also make the reason more natural by explaining that the campus is too large to get around on foot.

Example: Yes, definitely. Almost every family has at least one bike, and most students have one on my campus. The campus is so large that it’s difficult to get around on foot, so cycling is a convenient option.

× Yeah, I have one.

✓ Yeah, I had one.

The question asks about your childhood, so the answer should use the past tense. Use had instead of have to match the time frame.

× Every family almost have at least one bike

✓ Almost every family has at least one bike

Almost should come before every family because it modifies the phrase every family. Placing it after family makes the sentence sound unnatural.

× Every family almost have at least one bike

✓ Almost every family has at least one bike

Every family is grammatically singular, so it takes the singular verb has, not have. Use has with singular subjects such as every family and every student.

× in my campus

✓ on my campus

Use on when referring to a location within a campus. The natural phrase is on my campus, not in my campus.

× Every student have bikes

✓ Every student has a bike

Every student is singular, so it takes has rather than have. The singular phrase a bike also clearly expresses that each student owns at least one bike.
