Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer the question directly, then give one clear reason and a relevant alternative activity. Correct the grammar in “when I was a child,” “might fall,” and “I usually walked.” Avoid unclear and unfinished phrases such as “the Fr with the friend who is helps me with not me to miss.” Use a linking word such as “instead” to connect your supporting detail, and keep the answer to two or three complete sentences.

Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my parents were worried that I might fall and get injured. Instead, I usually walked to school and played games with my friends after class.

Sugerencia: Start with a natural topic sentence, such as “Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country.” Then explain one or two specific uses, such as commuting or exercise. Correct the repeated errors in “use bikes,” “teachers and students,” and “for depressing”; the intended word is probably “for exercise” or “for relaxation.” Avoid repeating the same idea and finish with a complete sentence.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially for commuting. Many teachers and students cycle to school because it is convenient and helps them arrive on time. Some people also ride bikes for exercise and to avoid traffic.

× I didn't have a bike when I was child because my parents were afraid that I might get fall or get injured.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents were afraid that I might fall or get injured.

The singular countable noun child needs the indefinite article a. We say a child, not child, in this context.

× I didn't have a bike when I was child because my parents were afraid that I might get fall or get injured.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents were afraid that I might fall or get injured.

After the modal verb might, use the base form of the verb. Therefore, might fall is correct, not might get fall. Get injured is acceptable because get can be followed by a past participle.

× Instead I usually walk and go to the school and play games with the Fr with the friend who is helps me with not me to miss.

✓ Instead, I usually walked to school and played games with a friend who helped me not miss school.

The question asks about the student's childhood, so the past tense is needed. Use walked, played, and helped instead of walk, play, and help. Keeping the verbs in the same past-tense form also makes the sequence clearer.

× Instead I usually walk and go to the school and play games with the Fr with the friend who is helps me with not me to miss.

✓ Instead, I usually walked to school and played games with a friend who helped me not miss school.

When school is used to describe its general purpose, no article is normally used: go to school or walk to school. The phrase the school would usually refer to a specific school building.

× Instead I usually walk and go to the school and play games with the Fr with the friend who is helps me with not me to miss.

✓ Instead, I usually walked to school and played games with a friend who helped me not miss school.

Friend is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article. Because the friend has not been mentioned before, use the indefinite article a: a friend.

× Instead I usually walk and go to the school and play games with the Fr with the friend who is helps me with not me to miss.

✓ Instead, I usually walked to school and played games with a friend who helped me not miss school.

The structure who is helps is incorrect because is cannot be followed directly by the finite verb helps. In this past-time sentence, use the simple past form helped.

× For example, a teacher and student use bike, the teacher use bike to go to the school on time and the student uses bike to go to school.

✓ For example, a teacher and a student use bikes; the teacher uses a bike to get to school on time, and the student uses a bike to go to school.

The plural subject a teacher and a student takes the plural verb use. Since both people may use separate bicycles, bikes is appropriate. A bike is used when referring to one bicycle.

× For example, a teacher and student use bike, the teacher use bike to go to the school on time and the student uses bike to go to school.

✓ For example, a teacher and a student use bikes; the teacher uses a bike to get to school on time, and the student uses a bike to go to school.

The singular subject the teacher requires the third-person singular verb uses, not use. Subject-verb agreement means that a singular subject takes a singular verb in the present tense.

× For example, a teacher and student use bike, the teacher use bike to go to the school on time and the student uses bike to go to school.

✓ For example, a teacher and a student use bikes; the teacher uses a bike to get to school on time, and the student uses a bike to go to school.

The singular countable noun teacher needs an article when it is first introduced: a teacher. The singular countable noun bike also needs an article: a bike. In the first clause, the plural form bikes avoids repeating the article.

× Or sometimes people use bike for for depressing and.

✓ Sometimes, people use bikes for exercise.

The preposition for is repeated unnecessarily. Also, after for, use a suitable noun or gerund phrase, such as exercise or exercising. The original fragment is incomplete, so the correction expresses the most likely intended meaning.

× Or sometimes people use bike for for depressing and.

✓ Sometimes, people use bikes for exercise.

The original sentence is incomplete and ends with and without a following idea. It also contains a repeated preposition and an unclear phrase. Use a complete sentence with a subject, verb, and clear complement.
