Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Use the past tense consistently because you are talking about childhood: say “I had,” not “I do have.” The correct verb is “riding,” not “writing.” Avoid repeating yourself, and add one specific detail, such as where you rode the bike.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I learned to ride it when I was six, and I often rode it around my neighborhood.

The question asks about a past time, and the clause when I was a child also establishes a past context. Use did have instead of do have. Do is present tense, while did is the correct past-tense auxiliary here.
