Wrong order, it's [Ich bin der Frau begegnet.]

ACC : Mr. Schneider has given the woman the book.= Herr Schneider hat gegeben die Frau das Buch.

Wrong order again, it's [Herr Schneider hat der Frau das Buch gegeben.]

(By the way, I'm not sure what those abreviations in front of your sentences mean. I suppose DAT and ACC stand for dative and accusative cases but I'm not sure about MON and CEN. And in your last sentences [die Frau] is still dative.)

Question: Wem hat Herr Schneider das Buch gegeben? (Whom did Mr. Schneider give the book?)

Answer: Der Frau.

If [wem] is your interrogative word then it's dative, for accusative it's wen (or [was], provided that it's not the subject, the interrogative words for that one are [wer] or [was]). In english translation there's not really a difference between wen and wem.

Let's ask another question.

Question: Was hat Herr Schneider der Frau gegeben? (What did Mr. Schneider give to the woman?)

Answer: Das Buch.

So [Buch] is actually the accusative in your sentence.

Here's an example where [Frau] is accusative.

[Herr Schneider hat die Frau mit dem Buch gesehen.] -> Mr. Schneider saw the woman with the book.

Question: Wen hat Herr Schneider mit dem Buch gesehen? (Whom did Mr. Schneider see with the book?)

Answer: Die Frau

Now it's accusative.

As for [Buch].

Question: Mit wem hat Herr Schneider die Frau gesehen. (With whom did Mr. Schneider see the woman.)

Answer: Mit dem Buch.

Of course it wouldn't make sense to use whom for an object normally, but that doesn't really matter with these questions.

So [Buch] is your dative in this case.

MON : The women are old. = Die Frauen sind alt.

Correct.

CEN : The handbags of the women are big. = Die Handtashen der Frauen sind groß.

Just a spelling mistake, it's [Handtaschen], other than that it's correct.

DAT : The women like the film. = Der Film Gehällt der Frauen.

Again, spelling mistakes, [gefällt] and [den Frauen].

ACC : Mrs, Kaufman shows the women the way. = Frau Kaufmann zeigt die Frauen den Weg.

[Den Frauen], and again it's dative not accusative, [Weg] is your accusative in this sentence.

Wem zeigt Frau Kaufmann den Weg? Den Frauen -> Dativ

Wen oder was zeigt Frau Kaufman den Frauen? Den Weg -> Akkusativ

Whom shows Mrs. Kaufmann the way? The women -> Dative

Whom or what does Mrs. Kaufmann show to the women? The way -> Accusative

You see there's not really a difference between wem and wen if translated into english. That being said I don't really know how you differenciate between dative and accusative cases in english anyway.

Danke!
