Are these sentences right?
The wind swung teeterboard in the yard.
The chandelier swung in the wind.
A drunk man walked along the road swinging.
I returned the book to him yesterday.

In the first sentence, the word "the" should be placed before "teeterboard".
For the third sentence, I would word it differently and use a form of "sway" instead of "swing". It sounds a bit silly otherwise. Something more like: "A drunk man swayed as he walked along the road".
As for the second and fourth sentences, they're perfect. Good job!

Don't know about the first one, I've not heard of a teeterboard, but the grammar doesn't look right.
Second and fourth are fine, but I would say a drunk person sways rather than swings.
