Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer the question with the correct auxiliary verb: say “Yes, I did,” or repeat the main verb in a complete sentence: “Yes, I had a bike.” To make the answer more effective, add one specific detail, such as when you used the bike or where you rode it.

例: Yes, I did. I had a small blue bike when I was about eight years old, and I usually rode it around my neighborhood after school.

提案: Give a clear and natural reason for your opinion. Replace the vague phrase “their own cars or transportation” with a specific expression such as “private cars and public transportation.” You could also explain why people prefer these options, and avoid fillers such as “uh.”

例: No, I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country. Most people prefer to use private cars or public transportation because the cities are quite large and the roads can be unsafe for cyclists.

× Yes, I had.

✓ Yes, I did.

The question uses the past-tense auxiliary verb 'did': 'Did you have a bike...?'. In a short answer, repeat the auxiliary verb 'did' rather than using the main verb 'had'. You can also give a complete answer: 'Yes, I had a bike.'
