× No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my father is was very worried when, uh, worried if I ride a bike because I might get hurt.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my father was very worried that I might get hurt if I rode a bike.
Errors: incorrect use of 'is was' (extra auxiliary) and tense mismatch in the subordinate clause ('if I ride' after past context). According to the third person singular / verb form rules and past tense consistency, use single past 'was' for 'father' and backshift the conditional clause to past tense 'rode' or use modal 'might'. Suggestion: remove the extra auxiliary 'is', use 'was' for past, and change 'if I ride a bike' to 'if I rode a bike' or rephrase 'that I might get hurt if I rode a bike' to keep past-time reference consistent.
× Yes, it is popular when we write with my friends.
✓ Yes, they are popular when my friends and I ride them.
Error: 'it is popular' uses singular pronoun 'it' while referring to plural 'bikes' and uses 'write' incorrectly instead of 'ride'. Subject-verb agreement requires plural 'they are' for 'bikes'. Also correct verb choice: 'ride' not 'write'. Suggestion: Use 'they are' and the correct subject order 'my friends and I', and verb 'ride'.
× It can reduce stress, enjoyable and relax and exercise.
✓ They can reduce stress, be enjoyable, help you relax, and provide exercise.
Errors: mixed grammatical forms and parallelism problems. 'Reduce stress' is a verb phrase, 'enjoyable' is an adjective, and 'relax' is a verb; they must be parallel. Also 'it' should be 'they' for plural 'bikes'. Suggestion: make all items parallel verbs or verb phrases: 'reduce stress', 'be enjoyable', 'help you relax', 'provide exercise'. This clarifies meaning and maintains grammatical consistency.
