Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分數: 55.0建議: Your answer is direct, but “No, I had not” is unnatural here. Use “No, I didn’t” to answer a past-tense question. To make your response more developed, add a brief reason or detail, such as whether you walked or used another form of transport.
範例: No, I didn’t. My family didn’t have a bike, so I usually walked to school.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分數: 60.0建議: Your answer responds to the question, but it repeats the idea of popularity without giving supporting information. Add a specific reason or example, and use a linking word such as “because” to connect your ideas. You could mention who uses bikes or where they ride them.
範例: Yes, I think bikes are very popular in my country because they’re an affordable way to get around. You often see people cycling to work or riding along paths in parks.
× No, I had not.
✓ No, I didn't.
The question uses the simple past tense: Did you have...? The matching negative short answer is No, I didn't. Use did not (didn't) plus the base form of the verb, have. Had not is not the appropriate form for this short answer.
