× I asked my mom to help me but no other people to help me to understand to learn how to ride a bike.
✓ I asked my mom to help me, but there were no other people to help me learn how to ride a bike.
The phrase ‘but no other people to help me’ is a sentence fragment because it has no finite verb. Add ‘there were’ to make it a complete clause. After ‘help me,’ use the base verb ‘learn’; ‘to understand to learn’ is unnecessary here.
× And for example in touring there are many bike that you can take with an abandonment, with a document and you can ride it.
✓ And, for example, there are many bikes that you can take with an abandonment, with a document, and you can ride it.
‘Many’ is used with plural countable nouns, so ‘bike’ should be ‘bikes.’ Remember to make countable nouns plural after words such as ‘many.’
× And for example in touring there are many bike that you can take with an abandonment, with a document and you can ride it.
✓ And, for example, there are many bikes that you can take with an abandonment, with a document, and you can ride them.
The pronoun ‘it’ refers to ‘many bikes,’ which is plural, so use the plural pronoun ‘them.’ Match a pronoun to its antecedent in number.
