Hi Anthon,

It would help to know what the instructions were for this exercise.  Conversationally, the contractions are much more common than the forms you've used, but there's nothing wrong with yours   -   except I don't know what #6 is trying to say.   And in #2 I don't know if you want a negative question or a positive one.
