Are these sentences correct?


1-It would be better for me if we met tomorrow.


2-She wouldn't treat him like that if she really loved him.


3-If I could live anywhere in the world, I would live in New Zealand.


4-The kitchen would look bigger if we painted it white.


5-I wouldn't buy that house if I were you.


6-He would be more attractive if he wore nicer clothes.


7-If we hadn't children, we would travel more.


8-What would you do in this situation if you were me?


Thanks in advance.

7 is not correct. "If we hadn't had children...".

No, you haven't. Read it again. You could also say "If we didn't have children, we would travel more."
But why are you posting the whole thing again?

I disagree here. I would put "If we didn't have children, we would travel more."
Yours I would say as: "If we hadn't had children, we would have traveled more."

I don't have any teachers.

I can say this site is my teacher.
