One word needs an accent over a vowel. 'Near' is followed by a preposition.

3. inglés: Do you like to wash the clothing?
español: ¿Te gusta lavas la ropa?
'To wash' is an infinitive (a verb that hasn't undergone conjugation).

4. inglés: Are you going to cut the grass?
español: ¿Cortas el césped?
The English sentence is using a present tense way to express a future event.

5. inglés: We wash the dishes in the kitchen.
español: Nosotros lavamos platos en la cocina.
A definite article is missing after the verb.

6. inglés: Do you take out the trash?
español: ¿Sacas la basura?

7. inglés: How many chores do you have?
español: ¿Tienes cuanto quehaceres? <<<< I have trouble with this. Is it right?
Try again. Place 'how many' up front (match gender and number, and don't forget the accent). Then follow the same word order used in English.

8. inglés: He wants to dust the furniture.
español: Él quiere sacudir los muebles.

9. inglés: I am going to live near the mountains.
español: Vivo en las montañas.
The English sentence speaks about a future event. Use the present tense to express a future event. The word 'near' wasn't used in your translation.

10. inglés: They run the sweeper in the living room.
español: Ellos pasan la aspiradora en la sala.

NOTE: We haven't learned the tenses (past and future) only the presente (present?? )
Pretty good. I've indicated which ones you did correctly. I gave you hints on the other ones.
