Answer 1

No error..................

Answer 2

Answer :

1. In the sentence 'Besides laptop, he has a PS4.' the definite article 'the' will be used before 'laptop' as here we are referring to a specific object.

So, the correct sentence is :

Besides the laptop, he has a PS4.

2. Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'can' as ' to be allowed to.'

Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'may' as 'used to make a suggestion or suggest a possibility in a polite way.' This definition is according to the context of the sentence.

From the above definitions, we can gather that the modal verb 'may' is more suitable for use in this sentence than the word 'can.' So, the correct sentence is :
