no 1 is fine.
no 2 'Mother wants a coffee. What do you mean by 'I just have a jar' just = only. A jar is plenty for one coffee so why 'just' ?
no 3 is fine.
no 4 normally we say 'I want a drink/ something to drink.' I would like' is more polite.
no 5 A 'bank' of sardines doesn't make sense. Normally we say a 'tin'.
no 6 We haven't got..
n0 7 is fine
no 8 Please put a 'cube' of ice/ an ice cube in my drink.

I'm not good at english too. anyway i think
2) My mother wants a coffee, i just have a jar.
4) i want something to drink.
7) if she is sad, she can eat whole of chocolate bar.
8) how about use verb "give" instead "put"
and 1)3)6) u used "have + past participle" that means "situation is continuing until now"
for example 6) WE haven't gor any toothpaste yet. . this sentence means
We never get toothpaste before.
