Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Soruyu doğrudan geçmiş zamanla yanıtlayın: Çocukken bisikletiniz olup olmadığını belirtin. “I can't bike” yerine “I couldn't ride a bike” veya “I didn't have a bike” kullanın. “Generally” kelimesini fiilden önce kullanmak yerine “I generally walked” deyin. Yanıtınızı kısa bir gerekçeyle destekleyebilirsiniz.

Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child because I never learned how to ride one. I generally walked to nearby places.

Sugerencia: Önce bisikletlerin ülkenizde popüler olup olmadığına net bir yanıt verin. “This date” ifadesi bu anlamda doğal değildir; günümüzde demek için “nowadays” veya “these days” kullanın. Geçmişle karşılaştırma yapacaksanız “when I was a child” deyin ve bisikletlerin kimler arasında ya da hangi amaçla popüler olduğuna dair somut bir ayrıntı ekleyin.

Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country nowadays, especially among students and people who travel short distances. When I was a child, they seemed less common.

× I can't bike, I prefer generally walk.

✓ I couldn't ride a bike; I generally preferred walking.

After prefer, use a gerund (-ing form) or a to-infinitive. Walking is the gerund here. The past-tense forms also fit the question about childhood.

× I can't bike, I prefer generally walk.

✓ I couldn't ride a bike; I generally preferred walking.

Generally usually comes before the main verb it modifies: I generally preferred. Placing it between prefer and walk is awkward, and walk also needs to be walking after prefer.

× Yes this date but when I was Childs.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular these days, but they were not when I was a child.

Childs is not the correct plural form of child. In this sentence, the speaker refers to one person, so use the singular child.

× Yes this date but when I was Childs.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular these days, but they were not when I was a child.

A singular countable noun needs an article here. Use a before child: a child.

× Yes this date but when I was Childs.

✓ Yes, bikes are popular these days, but they were not when I was a child.

The original begins a contrast with but when, but does not complete the thought with a main clause. Add a complete clause, such as they were not, to make the contrast clear.
