Corrections & Explanations

1. Correction: She lives in Kampot.
   Reason: With 'He', 'She', or 'It', we add '-s' to the verb.
2. Correction: I go to the market now.
   Reason: In the Present Simple, we don't use 'am' with an action verb like 'go'.
3. Correction: What is your name?
   Reason: To show possession, we use 'your'.
4. Correction: My friend is a tour guide.
   Reason: Sentences must start with a capital letter.
5. Correction: I have an orange.
   Reason: 'Orange' starts with a vowel sound, so we use 'an'.
6. Correction: Where is the hotel?
   Reason: A question must end with a question mark (?).
