Thanks to you both.

In #5, I missed the alternate conjugation of the verb "estaba", I was thinking "it was", but should have seen it as "I was"....

In #6, maybe it's a BrE vs. AmE thing. I would never hear "the work was for 4:00" as "it needs to be finished by 4:00". So this use of "para" indicates deadlines....
