Answer

1. The sentence order is correct, but the verb should be conjugated as "hoor". Since you have one vowel in the root followed by a consonant, it gets doubled in the root for the singular.
2. This sentence is correct.
3. Same issue as in sentence one. Additionally, "ze" should be replaced by "hen" since it's not the subject of the sentence; compare with "they" and "them".
