Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Your answer is grammatically correct and directly answers the question, but it is too brief to develop your response. Add a specific reason or a short personal detail, such as whether you preferred another form of transportation or why you did not own a bike.
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t. My family couldn’t afford one when I was young, so I usually walked to school or used public transportation.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Use the plural pronoun “they” or repeat the noun “bikes” because the subject is plural. Also, give a brief reason or example to make your answer more effective and detailed.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think they are quite popular in my country, especially among young people. Many people ride bikes for exercise, and cycling has become more common in large cities because it is inexpensive and environmentally friendly.
× Yes, I think it is.
✓ Yes, I think they are.
The noun bikes is plural, so it must be replaced by the plural pronoun they, not the singular pronoun it. The verb must also agree with they, so use are instead of is. When referring to plural nouns, use they are.
