Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Use the past tense because the question asks about your childhood: say “Yes, I did,” not “Yes, I do.” Add one specific detail to make your answer more complete, such as how often you rode it or where you used it.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bike when I was about seven, and I often rode it around my neighborhood after school.

提案: Your answer is grammatically correct and directly answers the question, but it repeats the wording of the question and provides no supporting detail. Give a reason and a specific example, using a linking word such as “because” or “especially.”

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because they are affordable and convenient. They are especially common among students and people who use them to travel short distances.

× Yes, I do.

✓ Yes, I did.

The question uses the past tense, 'Did you have...?', so the answer should also use the past-tense auxiliary verb 'did'. Use 'did' to refer to a past situation and 'do' to refer to a present situation.
