Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Give a direct, grammatically correct short answer and add one or two brief supporting details. Correct tense and article use (e.g., “when I was a child”). Keep it natural and avoid repeating the examiner’s question. Use a linking word if you add a reason.

Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I lived in a small apartment and my parents thought it wasn’t safe, so I usually walked to school instead.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence, then give specific supporting details and correct grammar (subject-verb agreement). Remove filler words like “uh.” Use linking words (for example, “because” or “for example”) to make your answer coherent and provide specific reasons or examples.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient for short trips. For example, many people use bicycles to commute to work or to go to the market, especially in smaller cities.

× Did you have a bike when you were child? No.

✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child? No.

The noun 'child' needs the definite article 'a' in this general past-time context. Use 'a child' to indicate the speaker's age stage. Suggestion: include appropriate articles with singular, countable nouns (a/an/the) depending on specificity. Grammar problem type ID: 22

× Every person, uh, have a bike.

✓ Every person, uh, has a bike.

The subject 'every person' is singular, so the verb must be in third person singular form 'has' not 'have'. Suggestion: For subjects with 'every' or 'each', use singular verbs (adds 's' in present simple). Also you can say 'everyone has a bike' as an alternative. Grammar problem type ID: 27
