Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Use the past tense because the question is about your childhood. Answer directly with “No, I didn’t,” and, if you can, add a brief detail to make your response more complete.

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I usually walked to school instead.

Suggestion: Make the subject and verb agree: say “bikes are popular.” Use “most students” without “of,” and say “ride a bike” or “ride bikes.” Add a specific reason or example, using a linking word such as “because.”

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in the Philippines, especially in smaller towns. Many students ride them to school because they’re an affordable and convenient way to travel.

× No, I don't have.

✓ No, I didn't have one.

The question asks about a past situation using 'Did you have...?' so the answer should also use the past tense. Use 'didn't have' rather than 'don't have.' Adding 'one' makes clear that you mean a bike.

× Yes, it's popular in the Philippines.

✓ Yes, they are popular in the Philippines.

The question refers to bikes, a plural noun. Use the plural pronoun 'they' instead of the singular pronoun 'it,' and use the plural verb 'are' to match.

× Most of students use bike to go to school.

✓ Most of the students use bikes to go to school.

When 'most of' comes before a plural noun referring to a specific group, use 'the': 'most of the students.' Alternatively, you can say 'Most students' without 'of' or 'the.'

× Most of students use bike to go to school.

✓ Most of the students use bikes to go to school.

'Bike' is a singular countable noun used here to describe bikes in general. Use the plural form 'bikes' when speaking generally about what students use.
