Imperfect subjunctive, conditional, and si clause help?

Alright, I'm trying to make sure that I've conjugated the verbs correctly in the following sentences according to the type of sentences they are: imperfect subjunctive, conditional and the si clause (likely outcome/present indicative and future tense). Can someone confirm that I've done these correctly?

Imperfect Subjunctive
Es importante que yo llegara el trabajo terminado.
Es necesario que yo reservara el hotel habitación.
Es probable que yo pasara el curso.
Es ridículo que jugáramos video juegos.

Conditional
Iría a ver un espectáculo en el Gran Teatro de Cervantes.
Compraría una alfombre pequeña.
Buscaría la Cueva de Hércules en las afueras de la ciudad.
Comerían mechoui y bisteeya en uno de los restaurantes famosos.
Saldría de compras en el mercado Gran Socco.

Si Clause (likely outcome)
Si yo tengo el tiempo, pasaré unos días en Marruecos.
Si viajamos al mar Caribe, haremos una excursión a la selva tropical de Belice.
Si iré a Guinea Ecuatorial, viajara a la isla de Bioko.

Thanks!

Good work. Some comments below:

Es necesario que yo reservara el hotel habitación (Please reword, this is a calque from English).
Es probable que yo pasara el curso.
Es ridículo que jugáramos video juegos (One word).

Conditional (Conjugation of the tense is fine, but it would be good to know who your subject is in each sentence, and the situation in which you would do such things. You use first or third person singular for all your sentences, except one. Your reader cannot know if you changed the subject deliberately or if it was a mistake. Also, try more persons, so you can manage to master the whole conjugation.)

Si Clause (likely outcome)

Si iré (Check tense) a Guinea Ecuatorial, viajara (Check tense and mood) a la isla de Bioko.

Thanks!
Si viajas a Guinea Ecuatorial, dicen que Annobón tiene playas preciosas. Deberías visitarlas también.
