Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 65.0Sugestão: Answer directly, but use the past tense because you are talking about your childhood: say “I had” rather than “I have.” You could add one brief detail about the bike or how you used it.
Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was younger. It was quite small, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 45.0Sugestão: Your answer gives a reason and an example, but several grammar errors make it difficult to follow. Use “every child has” or “all children have,” and say “there are children riding their bikes on my street.” Avoid fillers such as “umm” and “uh,” and connect your example smoothly with “for example.”
Exemplo: Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because many children own them. For example, I often see children riding their bikes along my street after school.
× Yes, I have a bike when I was younger.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was younger.
The question asks about a period in the past, and when I was younger also refers to the past. Use the simple past had instead of the present-tense have.
× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because every children have their bikes.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because every child has a bike.
Every is used with a singular countable noun, so use every child rather than every children. When using every, treat the subject as singular.
× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because every children have their bikes.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because every child has a bike.
The noun following every must be singular. Change children to child. A useful pattern to remember is every + singular noun.
× Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because every children have their bikes.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because every child has a bike.
Every child is grammatically singular, so the present-tense verb must be has, not have. Match the verb form to the singular subject.
× Umm for example in my street have children's their uh bikes and their ride around the street.
✓ For example, children on my street have bikes, and they ride around the street.
The original sentence does not have a clear subject before have. Put the subject, children, before the verb. Also, children's their is an incorrect, redundant possessive construction; use children have bikes or children have their bikes. In this context, say on my street rather than in my street.
