English is not my mother natural language so I might have made mistakes.
audrey typed thus:
ane What you want drink? What do you lot want to potable?
OK
2 I have a Coke, please. Can I have a Coke, please?
Nothing wrong with this in vernacular English, although you should perhaps know that strictly, "tin" is used to ask nigh whether something is possible. You should really say "May I have a Coke, please?"
I'll accept a Coke, delight.
This is OK, but only every bit a answer to the previous question, or "What would you like?" Otherwise, on its own it is a little abrupt.
3 i tin can't to help you lot. I can't assistance y'all.
OK
iv It's starting rain. It's starting to rain.
OK
5 I'thousand looking frontward to see yous again presently. I look forward to come across you again before long.
No - you need "seeing".
I'm looking forward to seeing yous over again soon.
This is OK.
6 I retrieve to change my chore presently. I'm thinking to modify my chore soon.
This one doesn't fit with the rest - information technology should be: I'm thinking of changing my chore soon.
7 Telephone me tonight. I give you my telephone number. Telephone me tonight. I'll give yous my telephone number.
OK
I am giving you my telephone number. (I'm non completely sure but y'all can't use "will" there)
Yep, you tin utilise "volition". This version is wrong - it says that I am giving you my number now.
8 I run across the physician tomorrow about my back. I'm ... I'm going to see the doctor tomorrow about my back.
Both OK.

Yes.
2 I have a Coke, please. Can I accept a Coke, please?
That's fine, but "I'll have a Coke, please" would as well exist correct and would be closer to the original.
3 one tin can't to assistance you. I can't help you.
Yes.
4 It's starting pelting. Information technology's starting to pelting.
Yes.
five I'm looking forward to run into you over again soon. I look frontwards to see y'all again before long.
No. Either version would exist correct if "see" was replaced by "seeing".

"I'm thinking of irresolute my job shortly."

Considering I'm retired , I follow the course of English ... What you want drinkable? What practise you want to potable?
Yes.
I realise that that is open to misinterpretation. By "yes", I meant "yes, information technology's correct".

I thank yous very much, Ropa.
If you want to show your gratitude (and, past the way, thank you for posting your suggested answers to the questions, rather than just asking what they should be), may I inquire you in futurity to put your respond afterward the quoted text, and snip out what isn't relevant in the quote, the way I have done in this post? It's the way information technology's usually washed in great britain.* newsgroups, and is generally considered more polite.

I will add that information technology was the attempt to answer the questions before request for aid which prompted me to assist.
