Explanation:

1. 'Down' is a preposition which shows the relation of a noun to the other part of the sentence. 'Puts down' is together a phrase which means to stop holding something and place it down on some surface or anything, while 'put on' means to wear, start or add something.

2. He go to the travelling bag and start packing - here error is 'go and start' because whenever the subject is singular, we use verb which is in pural form. So rectifying go into 'goes' and start into 'starts'.

3. While he am packing intruder walks in - This sentence is wrong because we never use helping verb 'am' with pronouns like he, she, it, her, etc. It is only used with 'I' . So it is replaced by 'am' , which is correct helping verb here. Put comma ( , ) when first clause finishes. Vowel 'an' before intruder. At last walks into walked.

4. In the last sentence, we should never use 'an' when the sentence is beginning with a consonant sound. 'An' is used with sentences beginning with vowel sound ( a, e, i, o, u ) whereas, 'A' is used with sentences beginning with consonant sound. Both are indefinite articles.
