Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 55.0Sugestão: Use the past tense because the question asks about your childhood: say “Yes, I did,” not “Yes, I do.” You could add one specific detail, such as when you received the bike or what you used it for. Keep the answer to two or three sentences so it sounds natural and sufficiently developed.
Exemplo: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was about seven, and I often rode it around my neighborhood with my friends.
