Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Use the past tense because the question asks about your childhood. Also, say “a bike” to make the answer complete, then add a brief reason or detail.

Example: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My family lived in a busy area, so I usually walked to school.

Suggestion: Answer the question directly, but develop your response with a reason and a specific example. Use a linking word such as “because” to connect your ideas.

Example: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they’re affordable and convenient for short trips. For example, many people ride them to work or to nearby shops.

× No, I don't have.

✓ No, I didn't.

The question asks about a past situation, so the answer should use the past-tense auxiliary did, not the present-tense auxiliary don't. Use didn't as a concise way to say that you did not have a bike.
