After "in case", use the present simple "see" to talk about a possible future situation.
2The first time I ............... him was last week.
Wrong!
The finished past time expression "last week" needs the past simple "met".

Wrong!
The finished past time expression "yesterday" needs the past simple "had".
5They ............... married last month.
Wrong!
The finished past time expression "last month" needs the past simple "got".
6This is the man ............... hit my dog.

Use the subject relative pronoun "who" for the person who did the action.

After "think", "that" can introduce the object clause.

Use "Although" to introduce a real contrast between the cold weather and her decision to go.
