Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer directly with a clear past-tense sentence. Avoid repeating yourself, and use the correct forms “taught me” and “ride a bike.” Add one relevant detail, such as who taught you or where you rode. Finish the sentence rather than trailing off.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. My dad taught me how to ride it, and I used to practise in the park near our home.

Sugerencia: State your opinion clearly at the beginning, for example, “Yes, they’re quite popular.” Use “bikes” or “them” rather than “this,” and give a complete, specific reason. For errands, say “go to the supermarket”; avoid filler words and finish your thought.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country because they’re an affordable and convenient way to get around. Many people ride them to school or work, and some use them to go to the supermarket.

× I had a I have already had a bike when I was a child.

✓ I had a bike when I was a child.

The answer refers to a completed period in the past, so use the simple past had. Remove the repeated and conflicting phrase I have already had. For past experiences, state the answer once using the past tense.

× When I was young, my dad teach taught me how to road the bike.

✓ When I was young, my dad taught me how to ride a bike.

The time phrase when I was young sets the sentence in the past, so the past-tense form taught is needed instead of teach. Ride a bike is also the standard expression; road is not used as a verb with this meaning. Practice the phrase taught me how to ride a bike.

× My maybe popular in my country.

✓ Bikes may be popular in my country.

The original phrase does not have a complete subject and verb. Use bikes as the subject and may be as the verb phrase. Make sure every complete sentence has a subject and a verb.

× Everyone can use this a lot to go to school or go to work.

✓ Everyone can use them to go to school or go to work.

This is singular, but it refers to bikes, which is plural. Use them to refer back to plural nouns. Check that a pronoun agrees in number with the noun it replaces.

× Go to supermarket.

✓ Go to the supermarket.

Use the before supermarket when referring to the familiar destination in this sentence. Remember that singular countable nouns usually need an article.
