× No I actually didn't had a bike when I was a child but if I'm not wrong I remember during COVID lockdown my father actually taught me how to ride a bike by using my neighbor's bike.
✓ No, I actually didn't have a bike when I was a child, but if I'm not wrong I remember that during the COVID lockdown my father taught me how to ride a bike using my neighbor's bike.
The auxiliary 'did' requires the base form of the verb, so 'didn't had' is incorrect; it should be 'didn't have'. Also add comma after 'No' and include 'that' for clarity; remove redundant 'actually' and simplify 'by using' to 'using' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: use 'didn't' + base verb for past simple negatives and keep phrasing concise. Grammar problem type ID: 5
× So he held my seat at 1st and ran along with me with the bike and after a few try I got the.
✓ So he held my seat at first and ran alongside me with the bike, and after a few tries I got it.
Errors: '1st' should be spelled 'first' in speech transcripts; 'ran along with me with the bike' is awkward—use 'ran alongside me with the bike'; 'after a few try' needs plural 'tries'; and the sentence ends incomplete 'I got the' — add the object 'it'. Suggestion: use correct word forms and complete the object, and prefer 'ran alongside' for clarity. Grammar problem type ID: 5
× OK so I was born and brought up in Bangladesh and definitely bikes are really common in our country.
✓ OK, I was born and brought up in Bangladesh, and bikes are definitely very common in our country.
Tense and word order: 'definitely bikes are really common' is awkward word order and redundant modifiers 'definitely' and 'really'. Move adverb 'definitely' before the verb and use one intensifier (e.g., 'very'). Suggestion: place adverbs in natural positions (before main adjective or after auxiliary) and avoid redundancy.

× But uh, you get but in our streets in Dhaka city you get boys riding the bikes more than girls.
✓ But in the streets of Dhaka city, you see boys riding bikes more than girls.
Problems: redundant 'you get but' and incorrect preposition 'in our streets in Dhaka city' is better as 'in the streets of Dhaka city' or 'in Dhaka's streets'; 'ride the bikes' should be 'ride bikes' without the definite article. Suggestion: remove filler words, use 'see' instead of 'get' for natural English, and use 'in the streets of' for correct preposition usage. Grammar problem type ID: 11
