Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Ответ дан прямо, но исправьте грамматику: перед исчисляемым существительным в единственном числе нужен артикль — “a bike”, а с “I” в прошедшем времени используется “was”, не “were”. Добавьте одну конкретную деталь, например, где вы катались.

Example: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I often rode it around my neighborhood after school.

Suggestion: Сначала дайте ясный ответ: “Yes, bikes are quite popular in Ukraine.” Уберите заполнители пауз “uh” и “em”, не повторяйте “in my country, in Ukraine”. Исправьте согласование: “everybody has a bike” или, естественнее, “many people own bikes”. Вместо “walk with them” скажите “ride them”, а затем приведите конкретный пример места или причины.

Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in Ukraine, especially in cities. Many people ride them in parks or use them to get around because they’re convenient and inexpensive.

× Yes, I had bike when I were a child.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

The singular countable noun bike needs the article a. Use a before a singular countable noun when mentioning it for the first time.

× Yes, I had bike when I were a child.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

The past form of be used with I is was, not were. Use I was to talk about a past state.

× Yes, in my country, in Ukraine, it's a popular uh em everybody have bike.

✓ Yes, in my country, Ukraine, everybody has a bike.

Everybody is grammatically singular, so the present-tense verb needs the third-person singular form has, not have.

× Yes, in my country, in Ukraine, it's a popular uh em everybody have bike.

✓ Yes, in my country, Ukraine, everybody has a bike.

Bike is a singular countable noun, so it needs the article a. Say a bike, not bike.

× Yes, in my country, in Ukraine, it's a popular uh em everybody have bike.

✓ Yes, in my country, Ukraine, bikes are popular, and everybody has a bike.

Do not use a directly before an adjective unless the adjective is followed by a singular countable noun, as in a popular activity. Here, popular describes bikes, so say bikes are popular.
