Hi,

Are these sentences correct, please?

1) I don't know when the health service will cater for the needs of this country.

2) Don't you sort of feel that we have talked a lot about the Impeachment procedure?

3) She wonders how long she will have to wait until she can see her husband again.

4) Don't you think she should buy new clothes for her children?
- How could she? She has no money left.

5) I think they will settle in Newcastle.
- No, I don't think so.

6) I'm afraid the U.K will finally refuse the euro.
- I don't hope so!

7) Do you think both of them are in love?
- No, I don't.

8) Do you think one day the Thames' water will be drinkable?
- No, not at all.

Thank you.

No 6. needs some adjustment but the rest are fine as conversational sentences.

'finally refuse the euro' sounds odd, particularly as the U.K.s currency is not the Euro.
Perhaps you mean:
I'm afraid the U.K. will end up refusing to accept the Euro as legal currency.

'I don't hope so' is also incorrect. When using the negative form of 'hope' the term would be:
I hope not.
