Answers

1) I still haven't got <b>to sleep,</b>even if it is almost 2 am.

2) OK

3) OK

4) OK

... to get good reviews = means that the critics are writing favorably about whatever (movie, book, song, etc.).

5) We've also released a new single. <b><~~yes</b>

When do you use to do "sport"?
<b>The wording "to do sport" isn't used; you can play a sport/different sports; you can practice a sport/different sports; you can watch a sport/different sports; etc. But generally "to do sport" or "to do a sport" isn't used. A child might use that phrasing before s/he picks up the normal phrasing from his parents or other adults.</b>

6) Is the expression "to practise sport"? <b>You might practice baseball or go to baseball practice, but the expression "to practice sport" isn't standard. I used to say this about my son: He plays different sports. He loves to play different sports. He plays only one sport well. Etc.</b>

7) Do you practise any sports? <b><~~Now THAT one works!!</b>

I haven't been to (in that? supermarket yet. (are both to and in possible?) <b><~~yes</b>

8) OK

to do exercises (example maths problems), to do translations, dictations, but to take exams. <b><~~Yes, those are all correct.</b>
