Would you correct my English? (Sep.28)

Question

Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Will you correct them?

No. 1

M: Don't I qualify for a free one-way ticket with this coupon?

F: Sorry, but no. It's not for our company but for another company.

You can get it at the shop over there.

M: Thank you for your trouble.

No. 2

M: When exactly will Mr. Tamura be leaving for Vancouver?

F: What? He has already left [ gone ] this morning.

M: Really? It's a pity that I can't [ couldn't ] give him a good guidebook.

(Q. Which is better?)

Thank you. kenta

Hi,

No. 1

M: Don't I qualify for a (or get a) free one-way ticket with this coupon?

F: Sorry, but no. It's not for our company (or not for us) ~~but for another company.~~

You can get it ~~at the shop~~ over there. (You don't get travel tickets at shops. If you are in an air terminal, we speak of the different 'desks'.)

M: Thank you for your trouble.

No. 2

M: When exactly will Mr. Tamura be leaving for Vancouver?

F: What? He ~~has~~ already left [ gone ] this morning. or He's already left/gone

M: Really? It's a pity that I ~~can't~~ [ couldn't ] give him a good guidebook.

(Q. Which is better? couldn't , as the focus seems to be on the past)
