Your grammar definitely is LL(1). You should provide a grammar that
requires longer lookahead.

IMO the FIRST set covers all *different* sequences, in your case
FIRST(E)={a} hence LL(1).
Only if there exist multiple alternatives starting with 'a' they have to
be listed as e.g. FIRST(E)={ax, ay}.

Dunno about the FOLLOW set, perhaps it can stay LL(1)?
