If you make all your posts for help in one thread (eg the one you first did) it will make your questions much easier to find. It'll also help keep the forum tidy. Before I dive in, a few questions:
1) Where's your japanese dictionary? Many of your vocab and spelling questions could be easily solved if you look them up. There are also internet resources like Tatoeba
Tatoeba: Collecting example sentences (search an english or Japanese word/phrase and it'll give you example sentences), Kantango:
kantango allows you to look up japanese words for their kanji, or kanji for their reading, and wikipedia Japan,
Wikipedia, which is especially good for looking up modern brand names and things in japanese- you can even just do the search in English and it should take you to the right japanese page if there is one available.
2) Out of interest, are you using a specific text book?
4. Mr. Tanaka went to Seattle Center this afternoon.
Who: たなかさん
When/Time: きょうの ひる (is this okay to express this afternoon?)
ひる is specifically 'lunch'. Here you've said 'today's lunch(time)'. Think more in clock terms than 'stages of the day' terms.
6. I have a breakfast about 6:30 every morning.
Who: わたし
When/Time: まいあさ (I wouldn't need to say ごぜん since まいあさ implies a.m. right?) ろくじはん
that's right. When you use a 'time of day' word like 'morning', the am/pm part becomes redundant.
With whom: N/A
Place/Activity: N/A
Object: あさごはん
Verb: たべます (Or would the verb be arimasu since the English sentence says "I have" instead of "I eat"?)
No. Translation is rarely so literal. if you were to say あさごはんがあります it would be 'i am in possession of a breakfast' rather than 'i have a breakfast (as in, i eat it).
Question: N/A
8. I sometimes watch CNN News on TV at 7:00 am.
Who: わたし
When/Time: ときどき ごぜん しちじ
With whom: N/A
Place/Activity: テレビ ("on TV" would be the location of the object right?
yes. You can also think of で as 'by means of'. so, はしでたべます= by means of chopsticks, I eat. テレビでききました i heard (about it) by means of the television.)
