There is a dropdown menu for inserting Spanish characters on top of the dialog box. They're very important, so let me suggest you correct spelling first, so we can help you with the rest. ;)

There are several errors yet.
Besides the missing accent marks already mentioned, there are a couple of misspelled words, too (sentences 3 and 4).

In this forum, we try to give hints instead of just giving answers (essentially doing your homework for you).

Here are some hints.

In sentence 1, llamar takes a direct object (not an indirect object). The addition of antes is unnecessary (it's not in the English translation). Broke123 provided some better wording at the end of the sentence.
In sentence 4, enseñar takes both a direct and an indirect object. Broke123 provided the correct subject.
In sentence 5, gustar takes a subject and an indirect object. The subject is a noun clause 'practicarlas (las reglas)'. The indirect object pronoun les is correct, but the indirect object itself is missing something.
In sentence 6, 'are we able' = 'can we' = podemos.
Look up the difference between Greek and Greece.
Look up the difference between aparato and abrazadera.
Me lastimé el tobillo. (There's no need for the redundancy of the determiner.)
Check sentence 9 for another example of a redundant determiner. You also have a redundant subject pronoun in that sentence. When you don't know something, the direct object pronoun that means 'it' is said in Spanish (that's why 'it' was in parentheses).

de + el = del

There are other problems, but this should give you something to start with.
