About correcting errors:

• In the question given, we must find out the error in it and also correct it.
• When we are given a sentence to spot the mistake, we must check if there is agreement among the parts of speech in it.
• Especially, the agreement between subject and verb must be looked into.
• Further we have to see if the prepositions are properly used. Then we must also check if the tense is used correctly.
• The word 'coward' itself means a person who is afraid of something/ someone. So we need not repeat the word 'person' as it already referring to a person.
• Thus a possible answer is: He is a coward.
• If not the above, and if we want to include the word 'person', then we should use the adjective form of 'coward' because it would qualify the noun 'person'.
• The adjective form of 'coward' is 'cowardly'.
• Therefore another right answer is: He is a cowardly person.
