These are wrong (you also have verb form problems):

2- Your jacket needs ( to wipe).Your have some chalk on it.
3- I have (swipped) the floors, Mum, but there's this stain here on the carpet.
6-I've washed up, and (rinse) the cups and saicers.Would you like (to sweap) them and put them away, or shall I leave them on the driningboard to dry?
14-A person speaking quietly so as not to disturb others:(murmur). [Hint: Murmur = mutter]
