Hi Claudia, most of the words are correct, just the sentence structure has little problem, Here are the correct one:

1. wǒ néng zuò nǐ de mǔ qin, yīn wèi wǒ de nián líng = I could be your mother, because of my age.

2. give it to me in Chinese we say “huán gěi wǒ” which literally means "return it to me and no “it”

3. ge/ zhang / tiao are the measure words
