Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Use the past tense after “when I was a child”: “Yes, I did have a bike.” You can make the answer more effective by adding one specific detail, such as how often you used it or where you rode it.

Ví dụ: Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child. I usually rode it around my neighborhood after school, and I really enjoyed exploring the nearby streets with my friends.

Gợi ý: Use “during the pandemic” instead of “when it was pandemic,” and say “many people were cycling” or “many people took up cycling,” not “all the people was the biking.” Avoid absolute claims such as “all the people” and add a specific reason or result to make your answer clearer and more natural.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country. During the pandemic, many people took up cycling because it was a safe way to exercise outdoors. Since then, cycling has remained popular, especially among young people and commuters.

× Yes, I do have a bike when I was a child.

✓ Yes, I did have a bike when I was a child.

The question asks about a past situation, so the verb should be in the past tense. Use did have instead of do have. A more natural alternative is: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

× I think so because when it was pandemic, all the people was the biking.

✓ I think so because during the pandemic, all the people were biking.

Pandemic needs an article in this context, and the natural expression is during the pandemic. Do not use the before the -ing form biking when it functions as the main verb.

× I think so because when it was pandemic, all the people was the biking.

✓ I think so because during the pandemic, all the people were biking.

All the people is a plural subject, so it must take the plural verb were, not was. Remember to match singular subjects with singular verbs and plural subjects with plural verbs.

× I think so because when it was pandemic, all the people was the biking.

✓ I think so because during the pandemic, all the people were biking.

After the past form of be, use the present participle form ending in -ing to create the past continuous tense: were biking. The word the is not used before biking in this verb phrase.
