Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer the question with “Yes, I did,” because the auxiliary verb “did” is needed for a question beginning with “Did.” Add one or two specific details, such as when you got the bike, how often you used it, or where you rode it. This will make your response more natural and developed while staying within the recommended length.

例: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was about seven years old, and I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.

提案: Give a clear opinion and support it with a reason or example. The phrase “Yes, I think so” is grammatically acceptable, but it is too short and does not explain why bikes are popular. You could mention their convenience, low cost, health benefits, or use for commuting and exercise.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among young people. They are affordable and convenient, and many people use them to exercise or travel short distances.

× Yes, I had.

✓ Yes, I did.

The question uses the auxiliary verb did: Did you have a bike...? In a short affirmative answer, repeat did rather than using had. The verb have remains in its base form in the question, while did carries the past tense. A useful pattern is: Did + subject + base verb...? Yes, subject + did.
