Bike— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer directly using the past tense: say “I didn’t have” rather than “I don’t have.” You could add one brief reason or detail to make your answer more complete.

Exemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. My parents thought it might be unsafe, so I usually walked or took the bus.

Sugestão: Start with a clear answer about bike popularity, then give one relevant supporting detail. Avoid repeating the same point, and use “she doesn’t” (not “she don’t”). The phrase “because I’m a girl” may sound more natural as “because she thinks cycling is unsafe for girls.”

Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and people who commute short distances. My mother didn’t let me ride one when I was younger because she was worried about my safety.

× I don't have a bike when I was a child.

✓ I didn't have a bike when I was a child.

The question asks about a past time, and the clause 'when I was a child' is in the past. Use the simple past negative 'didn't have' instead of the present-tense 'don't have'. The verb after 'didn't' stays in its base form: 'have'.

× She don't allow me to ride a bike.

✓ She doesn't allow me to ride a bike.

With the third-person singular subject 'she' in the present simple, use 'doesn't' rather than 'don't'. After 'doesn't', use the base form of the verb: 'allow'.
