Hey guys! Had another assignment and I'd love some help correcting my mistakes.

1. Кому вы звонили вчера? Я звонил вчера Бориса.

2. Что женя делать по субботам? Женя любит четать по субботам.

3. Когда ты идёшь в библиотеку? Я иду в библиотеку на вчеру.

4. Кто хочет идти к врачу? Нина хочет идти врачу.

5. Сколько вам лет? Меня двадцать лет.

7. Откуда они идут? они идут от сестре.

8. Что он читает сыну и дочери? он читает сыну и дочери русская книга.

Verb Conjugation! YAY! :D

Я шиву ты жёшь они шят

писать
Я писаю ты писаешь они писают

хотеть
Я хотею ты хотешь они хотеют

Now for more endings. I had to put синее полртенце in all cases, and plural for all cases.
I completely fell down in this aspect. Completely. I appreciate the community's rules against homework, but I'm completely lost in this regard.

Что Женя делает по субботам? По субботам Женя любит читать.

Когда ты идёшь в библиотеку? В библиотеку я иду вечером.

Сколько вам лет? Мне двадцать лет.

Откуда они идут? Они идут от сестры.

Что он читает сыну и дочери? Он читает сыну и дочери русскую книгу.


Я шиву ты жёшь они шят - I can't reconize the verb. If it was "шить" (to sew) - я шью, ты шьёшь, они шьют

писать
Я писаю ты писаешь они писают - It is correct for "пИсать (to pee), but I'm afraid that you need the verb "писАть" (to write) - я пишу, ты пишешь, они пишут

хотеть
Я хочу ты хочешь они хотят

Я шиву ты жёшь они шят - I recognized this from <<Я шиву>>, but then again, I am not a native speaker myself
Я живу
Ты живёшь
Он живёт
...
Они живут

Some of this is just a matter of studying, practicing, and learning the forms, but you could also improve just as you type these answers out for us just by working on consistency of forms you do know. Note that you correctly said хочет in #4, but you changed the conjugation entirely when you did the whole verb хотеть (which is a tricky one!).
Also, typos: not четать, not полртенце...

Overall good, though, man

When asking how old someone is, I believe you have to use the dative, not the accusative. "Menya" becomes "mnye" in number 5.

Also, the ya form for "hotyet'" (to want) is "hochu". (It's irregular).

Oh and I don't think it's сестре because you wouldn't use the "e" ending because it isn't preposition, but I don't remember what the ending is for that case.

I know it's so convenient and nice when somebody does your homework for you, but don't you think that this really HELPS?

If you cannot look up your textbook or the grammar reference part of a good dictionary, then google up the things that give you the most trouble, but DO IT YOURSELF!

Do you really think that the unhappy синие полотенца, being declined for you by somebody else, will really help you?

Google up "declension of Russian nouns and adjectives", find this site (http://masterrussian.com/aa041201.shtml) and decline the stuff you need YOURSELF, using the pattern shown there.

What's the point of cheating with homework? Do you really think that you will be able to speak and read Russian doing so?

It's OK to do your homework first, and then ask here for proofreading, but to ask people to do something that you are supposed to do yourself? I don't get it.

You are trying to conjugate irregular verbs using regular rules. That never works. "He gived, I getted".

Well, if it's OK with you, then it must be OK with anybody else. I'm just very surprised by this method of learning a foreign language.
English grammar can't be of much help in this case; you can ask the question all right ("cases in Russian", that's it); ask Google exactly this question, and the very first link (http://masterrussian.com/aa071600a.shtml) is already very close to what you are looking for. Just do it yourself before you give up completely! If somebody can do Google seach for you, you can do it, too!

BTW it's a good idea to google up "English grammar" and see what happens. Even if you haven't mastered it yet, this definitely would help. Just do it, work on it, don't complain! :))

I may be strict in what I write, but believe me: those are words of somebody who learns English completely on his own, without any instructor or any other type of guidance. If one can do it, somebody else can do it, too. I want to help you. But helping you means not to do your homework for you, but to encourage you to change your attitude towards learning. You can do it yourself. Just do it! We're always here to help you to find the way (but not to walkit for you!)

Have you considered buying a reference grammar? You can often get them relatively cheaply. It won't replace a textbook but it should at least have charts and explanations for all the declension and conjugation paradigms.

You can also get books that have full conjugation charts for the more common verbs. I have one called "The Big Silver Book of Russian Verbs," but I think there might be a cheaper one. There's also one that has nouns (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0893571709/ref=cm_lm_fullview_prod_6/103-3725890-7281408?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=283155) but it's harder to find and more expensive.
