Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Expand your answer with a clear topic sentence and one or two supporting details. Mention what kind of bike it was, how often you rode it, or a brief memory to make the reply natural and engaging. Use linking words if you add more than one detail.

Ejemplo: Yes, I did — I had a small blue bicycle with training wheels when I was about six. I rode it almost every day after school to visit friends in the neighbourhood, and I remember learning to balance on it during the summer holidays.

Sugerencia: Give a direct opinion followed by specific reasons and examples. Explain how and why bikes are popular (e.g., for commuting, recreation, or expense), and use linking words (because, for example, therefore) to connect ideas coherently.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them to commute short distances. For example, in cities there are dedicated cycle lanes and bike-sharing schemes, so students and office workers often ride to save time and avoid traffic.

× Yes.

✓ Yes, I did.

The original reply 'Yes.' is a short answer that omits the verb required to match the past-tense question 'Did you have a bike when you were a child?'. This is a sentence-without-a-verb situation (ID 23). Provide the auxiliary verb 'did' plus the base verb 'have' or use a full clause 'I did' to make the answer grammatically complete and clearly reflect the past tense. Suggestion: respond with 'Yes, I did.' or 'Yes, I had a bike.'

× Yes.

✓ Yes, I think so.

The original reply 'Yes.' is a one-word response that lacks a verb and a subject to match the present-tense question 'Do you think bikes are popular in your country?'. This is a sentence-without-a-verb error (ID 23). Use a full clause that includes a subject and verb to clearly answer the question in present tense. Suggestions: 'Yes, I think so.' or 'Yes, they are.'
