× No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents don't allowed bikes just because my mother didn't like bikes.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents didn't allow bikes; my mother didn't like them.
Problems: wrong auxiliary and verb form ('don't allowed' mixes present auxiliary with past verb) and pronoun reference. Applicable types: 5 Past tense issue and 12 Incorrect use of pronouns. Explanation: The sentence describes past situations, so past simple must be used consistently. Use 'didn't allow' (did + base verb) rather than 'don't allowed'. Also replace the repeated noun with pronoun 'them' to avoid repetition and use a semicolon or conjunction to join related clauses. Suggestion: Use consistent past tense auxiliaries (did + base verb) and replace repeated nouns with pronouns for fluency.
× Yes, bikes are really popular in my country because of the traffic jams.
✓ Yes, bicycles are really popular in my country because of traffic jams.
Problems: minor article and word-choice issues. Applicable types: 1 Singular and plural issue and 22 Article errors. Explanation: 'the traffic jams' implies specific jams; general statement about the phenomenon uses no article: 'traffic jams'. Also 'bikes' can be replaced with the more formal 'bicycles' but 'bikes' is acceptable. Suggestion: For general statements omit 'the' before plural uncountable phenomena and keep word choice consistent.
× Everybody wants to avoid the traffic jams.
✓ Everybody wants to avoid traffic jams.
Problems: unnecessary article 'the' as in previous sentence. Applicable type: 22 Article errors. Explanation: When speaking about traffic jams in general, omit 'the'. Suggestion: Remove 'the' for general statements.
× That's why they try to use a small motorbikes so that they can easily avoid the traffic jam and go to their destinations.
✓ That's why they try to use small motorbikes so that they can easily avoid traffic jams and get to their destinations.
Problems: mixed singular/plural and article errors and verb choice. Applicable types: 1 Singular and plural issue and 22 Article errors and 6 Present tense issue (word choice 'get' better than 'go to' in this context). Explanation: 'a small motorbikes' mixes singular article 'a' with plural 'motorbikes' — remove 'a' and use plural 'small motorbikes'. Use plural 'traffic jams' for general reference. Use 'get to their destinations' or 'reach their destinations' for natural collocation. Suggestion: Ensure article matches noun number, keep plurality consistent for general statements, and use natural verbs like 'get to' or 'reach'.
