Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is direct and grammatically correct, but it is too brief and repeats the question. Add a specific reason or a short personal detail, using a linking word such as “because.”

Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because my parents thought it was unsafe to ride on the busy roads near our home. However, I sometimes borrowed my cousin’s bike at the weekend.

Sugerencia: The main idea is clear, but “it” is incorrect because “bikes” is plural; use “they” or “cycling.” Also, explain why bikes have become popular and give a specific example. Use a linking word such as “because.”

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes have become much more popular in my country in recent years because they are affordable and environmentally friendly. For example, many people now cycle to work, and bike-sharing services are available in most major cities.

× Yes, it has become much more popular in recent years.

✓ Yes, they have become much more popular in recent years.

The noun bikes is plural, so it must be replaced by the plural pronoun they, not the singular pronoun it. The plural subject they also requires have in the present perfect tense. Use they have when referring to plural nouns such as bikes, cars, or books.
