A:
Okay, I'll do the corrections.
Use “a” before words that start with a consonant sound and “an” before words that start with a vowel sound. Other letters can also be pronounced either way. Just remember it is the sound that governs whether you use “a” or “an,” not the actual first letter of the word.
So from 'a okinawan old man' change it to...
An Okinawan old man joked.
Also, the joke is in past tense so it should be joke with a -ed but since joke already has an 'e' just add -d.
