Find the 4 mistakes

Polpetta wrote about the café's busy morning. Mia laid the tables and Mia lit the candles. The chefs arrived early, and them started the bread. The soup was too salty, so the soup went back to the kitchen. The waiter dropped a plate, and everyone looked at he. Leo found the recipe and copied it out.

Echoes, and little words on the wrong team. One little word is already perfect.
