Answer

1) Correct

2) "Is begins" is not correct. "I haven't my umbrella" is used in only a couple of dialects, so you need a different verb form for standard English.

3) You're talking about a general habit, so use only present simple.

4) Close, just a spelling mistake. Want = wish/desire; won't = will not; wont = customary behaviour. Which is it?

5) Close. "She certainly having any fun" doesn't make sense in English.

6) "I looking", "Wan-Ning scratching", "Ahmed stare out", "perhaps he thinking hard" "What do think Ahmed..?" - try again, these are all incorrect. "Bitting" - wrong spelling.
