I swiped him over the head to go off the fly which was sitting on the head.
Though I way past my teenage, I till feel I am a teenager.
Now time has gone 4 o'clock and it way past morning.

Are these sentences correct?

Try these:

I swiped him across the head to chase away the fly sitting there.
Though I am way past my teenage years, I still feel like a teenager.
Now it has gone 4 o'clock, and it is way past morning.
