Hi Sokha! An "ache" is a continuous, dull discomfort (like a headache or stomachache). A "pain" is usually sharper, stronger, and more sudden (like a pain in your chest from a cut). 🤕
Is it correct to say "I have a sick"?
No, that is a common mistake! "Sick" is an adjective, so you say "I am sick" or "I feel sick". If you want to use a noun, say "I have an illness" or "I have a cold". 🤒
