Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer directly using the past tense. Say “I didn’t have” rather than “I don’t have” or “I don’t had.” You can add a brief reason or detail to make the answer more complete, and avoid restarting the sentence.

Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My family didn’t buy one for me, so I usually walked or played with my friends nearby.

Sugerencia: Your answer responds directly and gives a reason, but the explanation is unclear and the sentence has a grammatical error. Use “they seem” to refer to bikes, and say “an exciting activity” or explain why teenagers enjoy cycling. Add one specific detail and avoid fillers such as “uh.”

Ejemplo: Yes, I do. Bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among teenagers, because cycling is an exciting way to get around and spend time with friends. Many young people also use bikes to travel short distances.

× When I was a child, I don't have a I don't had a bike.

✓ When I was a child, I didn't have a bike.

The question asks about a past period, and the clause When I was a child also sets the sentence in the past. Use didn't have for the negative past tense. Do not use don't with a past-time reference, and after didn't, use the base form have, not had.

× Yes, I do. I think bikes are quite popular in my country because it's uh it seems really exciting thing for teenagers.

✓ Yes, I do. I think bikes are quite popular in my country because riding bikes seems like a really exciting activity for teenagers.

The singular count noun activity needs an article, so use a really exciting activity. The phrase seems like is used before a noun phrase. The repeated it's uh it seems is a false start and can be omitted when giving the corrected sentence.
