Spanish Greetings and small talk (chitchat)

I would like to learn all familiar Spanish greetings and small talks to be able to carry on a short conversation in Spanish. I'd appreciate corrections on the following sentences below:

Hola, como estas?=hello, how are you?

Te echo de menos ayer=I miss you yesterday.

Tuvimos un tiempo maravilloso ayer.=we had a wonderful time yesterday.

y tu? como se hacer ayer?=and you? what did you do yesterday?

Visité a mis amigas y cenar con ellas = I visited my friends and have dinner with them.

Buenas noches!=good evening!
Buenos tardes!=good afternoon!

Me voy ahora, adios =I'm going now, goodbye.

Vea usted mañana=see you tomorrow.

Tener cuidado (cuidate)=be careful.

Es bueno verte!=it's good to see you (please say it in plural)

Muchas gracias.

Thank you, Rusty.

This is great. I'll study and practice speaking them to an acquaintance from Mexico next time I see her.
