Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer the question directly and complete your final idea. Improve the past-tense grammar: say “I didn’t have a bike” and “I did have a bicycle,” not “I didn’t had” or “I do had.” Use natural articles and expressions, such as “when I was a child” and “when I was seven or eight.” You can also connect your reason with “because” and avoid fillers such as “uh.”

Exemplo: To be honest, I didn’t have a bike when I was very young, but my father bought me a bicycle when I was about seven or eight. I wanted one because all my friends had bikes, so I was delighted when I finally got one. I used it to play with my friends in the neighborhood.

Sugestão: Your answer is clear and includes reasons, but make the wording more natural and precise. Say “in many households” or “in every other household” instead of “in every second house,” and use “motorbikes” consistently if you are referring to motorcycles rather than bicycles. Correct subject-pronoun agreement by saying “People generally use them,” and use natural phrases such as “go to work” and “take their children to school.”

Exemplo: Yes, motorbikes are extremely popular in my country. In fact, many households own at least one because they are a convenient and affordable way to travel. People use them to commute to work, take their children to school, and run errands, especially in busy cities.

× To be honest with you, I didn't had bike when I was child, but I do had a bicycle.

✓ To be honest with you, I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but I did have a bicycle.

After the past auxiliary did or didn't, use the base form of the verb: have, not had. Because the speaker is describing childhood, did have is also the appropriate past-tense form.

× To be honest with you, I didn't had bike when I was child, but I do had a bicycle.

✓ To be honest with you, I didn't have a bike when I was a child, but I did have a bicycle.

Singular countable nouns usually need an article. Use a before bike and a before child: a bike and a child.

× I do had a bicycle.

✓ I did have a bicycle.

The sentence refers to a possession in the past. Use did have, not do had. When did is used as a past auxiliary, the main verb must remain in its base form: have.

× They generally use it to go to their work, or they use it to take their children to their school.

✓ They generally use them to go to work, or they use them to take their children to school.

The pronoun it is singular, but it refers to the plural noun motorbikes. Use them for a plural antecedent. In the expressions go to work and take someone to school, work and school are normally used without a possessive determiner when referring to their general purposes.

× They generally use it to go to their work, or they use it to take their children to their school.

✓ They generally use them to go to work, or they use them to take their children to school.

In the general expressions go to work and take someone to school, no article or possessive determiner is normally used. Therefore, their work and their school should be changed to work and school in this context.
