Could you check my English sentences?

Bonjour,

Dans le but d'améliorer mon anglais par passion, je regarde les temps du passé que je maîtrise très mal. (prétérit, past perfect, past perfect progressive)
Voici un exercice que je fais, je n'ai pas les réponses. Pourriez-vous me corriger mes éventuels erruers. Je vous en remercie par avance.

How long has he worked? I'm sure he's tired.
It has been snowing since the beginning of january
When he saw me, he has smiled at me.
I have never eaten chicken curry, is it good?
He watched TV for 20 minutes.
The gardener has just burnt dead leaves.
Her father wanted to repair the roof, so she lent him a ladder
I have already played hide-and-seek
He's not in France, he has gone to the states
I have reading for 5 hours and i'm fed up.

Ai-je bien employé ces temps?
Merci pour vos corrections et explications. Bonne soirée Marie.

How long does he have been working? I'm sure he's tired. (If his job is not finished, this tense is used)
It has been snowing since the beginning of january.
When he saw me, he has smiled at me.
I have never eaten chicken curry, is it good?
He watched TV for 20 minutes. Again, if the guy is still watching the telly, the sentence is: He has been watching TV...
The gardener has just burnt dead leaves.
Her father wanted to repair the roof, so she lent him a ladder
I have already played hide-and-seek. Usually, in this tense another time indicator is used: I have already played hide-and-seek before...
He's not in France, he has gone to the states
I have been reading for 5 hours and i'm fed up.

Ai-je bien employé ces temps?
Merci pour vos corrections et explications. Bonne soirée Marie.
