Question Classwork - check for errors

We were supposed to do this for classwork, but I didn't get to finish. It is graded for accuracy so I want to get a 10/10 (or whatever points it's worth) on it. So please check for any mistakes.
¡Gracias mis amigos! ¡Gracias a los todos!

1. Julio/2 meses/tener dolor de garganta >>> Hace dos meses que Julio tiene dolor de garganta.
2. Ellos/2 horas/estudiar >>> Hace dos horas que ellos estudian.
3. Yo/una semana/tener dolor de oídos >>> Hace una semana que tengo dolor de oídos.
4. Nosotros/3 días/tener fiebre >>> Hace tres días que tenemos fiebre.
5. Tú/un día/doler la mano >>> Hace un día que duele la mano.
6. Él/un mes/doler las piernas >>> Hace un mes que él duelen las piernas.
7. María y yo/2 semanas/estar enfermos >>> Hace dos semanas que estamos enfermos.
8. Yo/3 horas/hacer la tarea >>> Hace tres horas que hago la tarea.
9. Ellas/una hora/hablar por teléfono >>> Hace una hora que ella habla por teléfono.
10. Tú/4 días/tener gripe >>> Hace cuatro días que tienes gripe.

Numbers 5, 6, 9 have errors in them. And, it might be argued that number 7 is in error. The rest are fine.

Jessica, the sentence so you have wrote does make sence, because you aren't specifying the subject or object, in this case of the verb you need to be more specify with the sence of the same sentence, Hace un día que duele la mano (Aquien le duele la mano), it does make any sence, because it has not a subject proper, the mano is not a subject.

Jessica found the correct answer for number 5. She was right to use the pronoun te.
Number 9 still has an error.

Yes, the option to use Te also is correct, but my correction in the number 5 is correct too, and the questions number 9 has not mistakes only that the sentence cans to be write of another way for example Hace una hora que ella te habla por teléfono, but this sentence without the TE Hace una hora que ella habla por teléfono, it's correct too.

here's the correct form of #9:
Hace una hora que ellas hablan por teléfono.
I just forgot it was ellas not ella. :P

We replace the word one's with an appropriate-to-person determiner, as in: Thanks, Rusty. I will be grateful all my life with you.

This table shows which determiner to use:
1st person
2nd person
3rd person
my
your
his|her|its
1st person pl.
2nd person pl.
3rd person pl.
our
your
their

Here are examples of the singular-person determiners:
I will be grateful all my life.
You will be grateful all your life.
He will be grateful all his life.
She will be grateful all her life.
It will be grateful all its life.

If the subject is plural, you use a plural determiner AND a plural noun. The plural of life is lives.

Here are examples of the plural-person determiners:
We will be grateful all our lives.
You will be grateful all your lives.
They will be grateful all their lives.

As a side note, don't confuse the plural noun lives with the 3rd-person singular verb lives. They aren't pronounced the same way!
