Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 55.0建議: Answer directly with the past tense because the question refers to your childhood. Change “have” to “had” and use the article “a” before “bike.” You could add one specific detail, such as how often you used it or where you rode it, to make the answer more developed.
範例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I rode it to school and around my neighborhood almost every day. It was small and bright red, so I really liked it.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 50.0建議: Give a clear answer and connect your supporting idea with a linking word such as “because.” Correct the subject–verb agreement error by changing “depends” to “depend,” and use “bikes” or “cycling” naturally instead of “bike” in the singular. Also, place “nowadays” more naturally: “Nowadays, many people depend on bikes.” Add a specific reason or example to make your answer more effective.
範例: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country, especially in large cities. Nowadays, many people depend on them because they are affordable and convenient. They also help people avoid traffic and reduce pollution.
× Yes, I have a bike when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.
The phrase when I was a child refers to a finished period in the past, so the past tense had must be used instead of the present-tense form have.
× Of course, bikes are very popular in our country nowadays many people depends upon bike.
✓ Of course, bikes are very popular in our country. Nowadays, many people depend on bikes.
The subject many people is plural, so the verb must be depend, not depends. The -s ending is used with singular third-person subjects such as he, she, or it.
× Of course, bikes are very popular in our country nowadays many people depends upon bike.
✓ Of course, bikes are very popular in our country. Nowadays, many people depend on bikes.
Because the sentence refers to bicycles in general, the plural noun bikes is more appropriate than the singular noun bike. Use a plural countable noun when speaking about a general category.
× Of course, bikes are very popular in our country nowadays many people depends upon bike.
✓ Of course, bikes are very popular in our country. Nowadays, many people depend on bikes.
The original sentence joins two complete ideas without appropriate punctuation or a conjunction. Separate them into two sentences to make the structure clear. Also, depend is normally followed by the preposition on.
