Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Improve grammar and expand slightly with one or two specific details. Begin with a clear past-tense topic sentence, then add a brief supporting detail using a linking word. Keep it natural and concise (no more than 3–4 sentences).

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. It was a bright red mountain bike and I used it to ride to school every day. Because it was sturdy and comfortable, I rode it even in the rain.

Sugerencia: Use plural form and give a reason or example to support your opinion. Start with a direct sentence, then add one supporting detail connected with a linking word (e.g., 'because' or 'for example').

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and exercise. For example, in cities you can see commuters riding bikes to work to avoid traffic.

× Yes, I have a bike when I was a child, a very nice one.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, a very nice one.

The student used the present tense 'have' but the time reference 'when I was a child' requires past tense. This is a present vs past tense mismatch. Use the past tense 'had' to show the action/state occurred in the past. Suggestion: match verb tense to the time expression (e.g., 'when I was a child' -> use past verbs like 'had').

× Yes, it's very popular.

✓ Yes, they're very popular.

The student used 'it's' (it is) to refer to 'bikes' which is plural. This is a subject-pronoun number mismatch requiring third person plural rather than singular. Replace 'it's' with 'they're' (they are) to agree with the plural noun 'bikes'. Suggestion: identify the noun number (singular/plural) and choose the matching pronoun and verb form (singular: it is/it's, plural: they are/they're).
