Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and office workers. Many people use them to commute because they are affordable and convenient in busy cities. They also make it easier to avoid traffic and find parking.
× No, I don't have a bike when I was a child.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.
The question asks about a past period, so the past form did not have is needed instead of the present form do not have. Keep the verb tense consistent with when I was a child.
× When I was child, I prefer to walk.
✓ When I was a child, I preferred to walk.
The singular countable noun child needs the indefinite article a. Use a before a singular noun when referring to one person or thing in a general way.
× When I was child, I prefer to walk.
✓ When I was a child, I preferred to walk.
The sentence describes a past preference, so prefer must be changed to its past form preferred. When talking about past habits or preferences, use the simple past tense.
× I go to school.
✓ I went to school.
The speaker is describing childhood in the past, so the past form went is required instead of the present form go.
× While walking, I go to play with my friend, but don't use a bicycle.
✓ While walking, I went to play with my friend, but I didn't use a bicycle.
This sentence refers to past activities, so go must become went and do not use must become did not use. The subject I should also be repeated before did not use to make the clause complete and clear.
× Most of the people I usually use bike for going to office.
✓ Most people usually use bikes to go to the office.
When speaking about bicycles in general, use the plural noun bikes rather than the singular noun bike. Also, most people is the natural plural expression in this context.
× Most of the people I usually use bike for going to office.
✓ Most people usually use bikes to go to the office.
The original sentence has an incorrect structure because I is placed between the subject and the verb. Use the clear order subject plus adverb plus verb: Most people usually use bikes.
× Most of the people I usually use bike for going to office.
✓ Most people usually use bikes to go to the office.
Office is a singular countable noun referring to a specific general destination in this context, so it normally needs the definite article the. Say go to the office, not go to office.
× Students use bike for going to school and colleges.
✓ Students use bikes to go to school and college.
The plural subject students generally refers to bicycles in general, so use the plural noun bikes. College is also used in the singular when referring to the general educational stage, as in school and college.
× Bikes are seems to be more convenient in our country.
✓ Bikes seem to be more convenient in our country.
Do not use the auxiliary verb are together with the third-person verb form seems. Use the plural subject Bikes with the base form seem: Bikes seem.
× Bikes are seems to be more convenient in our country because.
✓ Bikes seem to be more convenient in our country.
The word because introduces a dependent clause, but no additional clause follows it. Remove because unless you add a complete reason, such as because they are affordable.
