Sentence number 1 needs an adverb (late) instead of an object (la tarde).
The rest of the sentences are correct, except that some of them need a subject pronoun (because the third-person conjugation is ambiguous without one).

do you mean I have to remove the la?

Rusty May 20, 2009 07:38 PM

Yep.

Jessica May 22, 2009 01:24 PM

were there any other mistakes? Because I got an 8/10 on this ....

5, 6, and 9 are ambiguous as Rusty said. They are each missing one word.
