This is knit-picky, but I'd change the order so the topic, translation practice, comes first.
She hasn't done her homework yet because she has been practicing the piano since theall afternoon.
"Since the afternoon" sounds a little stiff, or overly proper.
A more casual way to phrase something like this would be to say: "she was practicing all afternoon" or "he is tired this morning because he was up all night".
He couldn't get into his house because he had forgotten his key.
If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have finished that job.

Well done! They all translated very well!
In a spoken conversation, the listener would still completely understand what you were saying!

Thank you for checking my writing and your comments, and the title turned out cool. 😀
Regarding "since the afternoon", I often use the "all night" in Japanese too, so I didn't realize that I could say "all afternoon" as well.
I'll try as hard as I can.
She hasn't done her homework yet because she has been practicing the piano since ththe whole afternoon.
「午後から」と「午後ずっと」の違い
He couldn't get into his house because he had forgotten his key the key when he left.
The nuance of when and where he forgot the key was missing in the English version.
The "when he left" part tells the reader that
1) The key was left in the house .
2) The key was forgotten at the time he left the house.
If it hadn't been for you, I wprobably couldn't have finished that job.
Changed from "wouldn't" to "couldn't" for the "unable to" nuance of 出来なかった
Added "probably" for the uncertainty nuance of でしょう

The "If it hadn't been for you" part is a very natural way of expressing "もし、あなたの助けがなかったら". This is quite advanced in my opinion, so well done! 😀

ところで、gaezerさんの「old-fashioned」というコメントについて、少し誤解されているかもしれません。gaezerさんが言いたかったのは、「If not for your help」という言い方が少し古めかしいということであって、「If it hadn't been for you」のことではないと思います。「If it hadn't been for you」は、今でも非常によく使われる表現ですよ。
Feb. 26, 2026
Yes that's what I meant! Sorry to confuse. Only "If not for your help" is a little old-fashioned sounding. Also now that I see it, I agree that "couldn't" (or "wouldn't have been able to finish") is better

Thank you for letting me know about "He couldn't get into his house~".
I can't help thinking in Japanese when writing English sentences. 😭
I can realize the differences Lional-san and everyone corrections.
That's really help me.
Regarding "If it hadn't been for you~", I wasn't sure how to say, so I looked it up many times. 😀
I noticed another phrase thanks to gaeze-san's comment as well.

She hasn't done her homework yet because she has been practicing the piano since theis afternoon.
"since the morning," "since the afternoon," etc. sound weird to me. I feel like I only hear this phrasing with "this" not "the"
He couldn't get into his house because he had forgotten his key.
If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have finished that job.
Good, but also "If it hadn't been for your help" or "If not for your help" (sounds a little old-fashioned)
Feb. 26, 2026
Thank you for letting me know "If it hadn't for~" sound a little old-fashioned.
It said, I can use "without you" or " Thanks to you" when I looked it up.
Without you, I wouldn't have finished that job.
Feb. 26, 2026
>Without you, I wouldn't have finished that job.
Yep, that works too.
You can also say: "I couldn't have finished that job without you."
Feb. 27, 2026
Sorry about that—I misunderstood.
However, I noticed another phrase thanks to your comment as well.
Thank you for checking my writing. 😀

Thank you for checking my writing.

"Since the afternoon" AI likes this phrase and approves your use of it.
That said, if she practiced during the entire afternoon, I prefer "all afternoon."
Another option I prefer is to change the wording: "she has spent the afternoon / the entire afternoon practicing the piano."
If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have finished that job.
Grammatically correct.
Contrast with: "Thanks to you, I finished that job!"

Yeah no problem! I see that other people offered corrections, but I think those are all a matter of taste instead of being objectively correct or incorrect. If you wrote this in schoolwork, you wouldn't get marked badly.
