Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 35.0Sugerencia: Answer in the past tense because the question is about your childhood: say “I had” and “I was.” Explain clearly who rode the bike and where you went; the phrase “when she went down the Bay” is difficult to understand. Add one specific detail, such as where you used to ride it, and avoid ending with an incomplete phrase.
Ejemplo: Yes, I had a pink bike when I was a child. My dad bought it for my birthday, and I was thrilled. I often rode it around our neighborhood with my friends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 42.0Sugerencia: State your opinion directly, then give a clear reason and a relevant example. Use “bikes are” rather than “bikes is,” and replace the unclear phrase “a waste to waste of transport” with wording such as “an inexpensive and convenient form of transport.” Complete your childhood example and use the past tense, “I always played.”
Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because they are an affordable and convenient way to get around. Many people use them for short trips, especially in busy areas. I also enjoyed riding my bike with friends when I was a child.
× Yes, I have a pink bike.
✓ Yes, I had a pink bike.
The question asks about the past, so use the past-tense form had rather than the present-tense form have.
× When I were a child
✓ When I was a child
The subject I takes was, not were, in this past-tense statement. Match the verb form to the subject.
× When I were a child my dad bought it for me as my birthday present and when she went down the Bay. And I was very happy the.
✓ When I was a child, my dad bought it for me as a birthday present, and I was very happy then.
The clause and when she went down the Bay is incomplete and does not connect clearly to the rest of the sentence. The final word the also leaves the sentence unfinished. Use a complete clause and then to express that the student was happy at that time.
× Bikes is a waste to waste of transport
✓ Bikes are a convenient means of transport.
Bikes is plural, so it requires the plural verb are. The original phrase is also structurally unclear; the suggested wording expresses the likely intended meaning in a complete phrase.
× When I was a child I always play
✓ When I was a child, I always played.
The statement refers to a childhood habit in the past, so use played rather than the present-tense form play.
× Also when I was a child I always play and.
✓ Also, when I was a child, I always played.
The sentence ends with and, which leaves the thought incomplete because and should connect two clauses or items. Remove it when no continuation follows, and make the sentence complete.
