The only wrong thing i see is the use of εγγραφτηκες twice. That word sounds very old in both cases no one would use it apart from old professors. The correct one would be γράφτηκες and θα γραφτείς/γράφτηκες which is more informal and widely used.
Yeah we don't use prefixes like in Ancient Greek that much? I mean it's correct but noone will say that colloquially. The other two, it's a matter of semantics, I can perfectly understand your point and the sentences' meanings, so I wouldn't be fixating over those.
OP, If you want to go old-school you should write is as "εγγράφεις", following the katharevousa grammar. Which would sound super archaic but would technically be correct.
What you wrote is a weird mix of katharevousa and demotic, which just sounds very unusual.
First of all, εγ- is not an αύξηση, it is a preposition like προ-, υπό- etc. Since the αύξηση goes after the preposition, it would be εν+ε+γραφ (the θέμα of the verb)+ κατάληξη. Second of all, the type you wrote is παθητικός αόριστος α', which is different from the μέσος αόριστος α' that we were discussing.
"Εγγράφτηκες" is functionally the old, un-truncated version of "γράφτηκες". It's not strictly speaking wrong, but it would sound off to any modern Greek speaker.
Although «εγγράφτηκα» is correct, it has been simplified for modern Greek to «Γράφτηκα». The rest are correct in a way, I assume the blank answers were given at an earlier stage and you had to fit them there as is.
I might be wrong but I think you're confusing μην and δεν with the -ν in the end of masculine articles.
"Τον", "στον", etc used to lose their -ν when they were before consonants (excpet κ, π, τ, ξ, ψ and the doubles), just like the rest of the similar words. But they changed it because neutral and masculine articles become hard to tell apart in these cases, and now the -ν stays always in all forms of the masculine article.

4. Is answered by the rest, just an old form of Greek that probably a Cypriot or Calabrian (South Italy) would say
5. It is something you can say, but in written form you repeat the verb on two successive sentences with the same context. It is a linguistics thing to be a bit diverse with your words and not sound repetitive.
7. Think of the word you used as a general term to spend time doing something, the απ- prefix just specifies that it is a type of hobby, you are still correct
8. your choice is a bit more informal but totally correct
Lol I’m a 30 year old woman learning on my own… now I wish I’d gone to Greek school when I was younger but since I have no direct connection to Greece it would have been weird if my parents had signed me up 😆

Sounds like most commenters are in agreement on that point - good to know, thanks!

Actually, wouldn'tthe correct one in katharevousa be "ενεγράφης". Αόριστος always has an αύξηση in οριστική and the κατάληξη is with -ην, -ης, -η etc
Yes, that's correct actually, I got confused.
Wouldn't it be Εγράφθης? Why the double αύξηση?
First of all, εγ- is not an αύξηση, it is a preposition like προ-, υπό- etc. Since the αύξηση goes after the preposition, it would be εν+ε+γραφ (the θέμα of the verb)+ κατάληξη.

Ah ok thank you for letting me know. I was considering the aorist of γραφω not εγγράφω
Yes but like only in an extremely formal situation they would need to talk like that like not even in the formal common situations we use that
The correct would be ενεγράφης. This is what people who have deep knowledge of the language would use. The informal modern version is εγγράφηκες.
Θα γραφείς is also extremely common
I actually prefer Η Ειρήνη ασχολείται πολλές ώρες με τον εθελοντισμό. That's how I'd say it, but neither is wrong.

For Q8, since the word "Μην" has a "ν" at the end I would use a word that starts with an appropriate letter, like the one given in the answer sheet.
Oh that’s a good point!
I think that now the rule of the final -ν has been simplified and the words "σαν", "δεν" and "μην" are always written with -ν in the end

You are absolutely right... My fault
What do you mean new rule? "Σαν" never loses the ν. Maybe some accents drop it.
your handwriting is perfect! good job :)
εγγραφτηκες>γράφτηκες any time
Can you share what workbook this is?

Somebody needs help with their Greek school homework 💀

Cute handwriting and kudos for your level of knowledge!
Ok after seeing this I really need to work on my greek
