Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer directly using the past tense: “I didn’t have a bike when I was a child.” Then add a brief, relevant detail, such as why you didn’t have one or whether you would like to own one now. Use “I’d like to buy” to express a present wish, and avoid repeating “bike” unnecessarily.

Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I’d like to buy one now because cycling would be a convenient way to get around.

Sugerencia: Give a clear opinion first, such as “Yes, I think bikes are quite popular.” Use natural phrases like “people often ride bikes” rather than “try to buy ride a bike.” Then explain the limitation with a linking word such as “however,” and be specific about whether you mean bike lanes, roads, or rental stations.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially for short trips. However, there aren’t enough bike lanes or rental stations in many areas, so cycling can be inconvenient.

× Umm no, I haven't got a bike when I child and I want to buy a new bike.

✓ Umm, no. I didn't have a bike when I was a child, and I want to buy a new bike.

The question asks about your childhood, so use the past tense did not have rather than haven't got. Use was after I to form the past-tense clause when I was a child.

× Umm no, I haven't got a bike when I child and I want to buy a new bike.

✓ Umm, no. I didn't have a bike when I was a child, and I want to buy a new bike.

The clause when I child is missing a verb. Include was to make it a complete clause: when I was a child.

× In my country, uh, people try to buy uh ride a bike often, but uh rides uh bike station or bike Rd. is not enough.

✓ In my country, people often try to ride bikes, but bike stations or bike roads are not enough.

The nouns refer to bike stations and roads in general, so use the plural forms stations and roads rather than the singular forms station and road. Also, ride bikes is a more grammatical way to express the intended activity.

× In my country, uh, people try to buy uh ride a bike often, but uh rides uh bike station or bike Rd. is not enough.

✓ In my country, people often try to ride bikes, but bike stations or bike roads are not enough.

The subject bike stations or bike roads is plural, so it takes the plural verb are, not is. Make sure the verb agrees with the subject's number.
