Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer directly, but use the past tense because the question is about your childhood: say “I had,” not “I have.” Add one relevant detail, such as when you rode it or what you enjoyed about it.

Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I used to ride it around my neighbourhood after school, and I really enjoyed exploring with my friends.

Sugestão: Answer the question about your country in the present tense, and make sure your supporting detail matches that topic. Use “bikes are popular,” not “it was popular.” Clarify your example with natural phrasing, such as where people ride and why. Avoid the unclear repetition “every places, every city.”

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. Many people use them to get to work or school because they are convenient and inexpensive. When I was younger, I also rode my bike around my neighbourhood with friends.

× Yes, I have a bike when I was a child.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

The phrase when I was a child refers to a completed period in the past, so use the simple past had rather than the present perfect have.

× Yes, it was very popular in our city. Before we bike every afternoon with my friends going every places, every city

✓ Yes, they are very popular in our city. In the past, my friends and I rode bikes every afternoon and went everywhere in the city.

The question asks whether bikes are popular now, so use the present tense are rather than was. The revised answer uses the present tense for current popularity and the past tense for the former routine.

× Yes, it was very popular in our city. Before we bike every afternoon with my friends going every places, every city

✓ Yes, they are very popular in our city. In the past, my friends and I rode bikes every afternoon and went everywhere in the city.

The pronoun it is singular, but it refers to bikes, which is plural. Use they to refer to bikes.

× Yes, it was very popular in our city. Before we bike every afternoon with my friends going every places, every city

✓ Yes, they are very popular in our city. In the past, my friends and I rode bikes every afternoon and went everywhere in the city.

Every must be followed by a singular countable noun, so every places is incorrect. Here, everywhere is a more natural way to express the intended meaning.

× Yes, it was very popular in our city. Before we bike every afternoon with my friends going every places, every city

✓ Yes, they are very popular in our city. In the past, my friends and I rode bikes every afternoon and went everywhere in the city.

The ending going every places, every city does not form a complete, clear clause. Connect the actions with and, and use the complete phrase went everywhere in the city.
