Here is the corrected version of each sentence, along with explanations for the changes made:

---

1. If Janie calls tonight, tell them I'm not home.

- Correction: If Janie calls tonight, tell her I'm not home.

---

2. Not for the world would I go to the top of the Brooklyn bridge.

- Correction: Not for the world would I go to the top of the Brooklyn Bridge.
- Explanation: Proper nouns (like names of places) should be capitalized. "Brooklyn Bridge" is a proper noun and should have both words capitalized.

---

3. He run quick to second base.

- Correction: He ran quickly to second base.
- Explanation:
- "Run" is in the wrong tense. Since this is a past action, it should be "ran."
- "Quick" is an adjective, but here we need an adverb ("quickly") to describe how he ran.

---

4. Noone wanted too be with he at lunch.

- Correction: No one wanted to be with him at lunch.
- Explanation:
- "Noone" is misspelled; it should be "no one."

5. The horse had jump over the stream when the wolf catched it.

- Correction: The horse had jumped over the stream when the wolf caught it.

---

6. Children should listen to her parents like his sister done.

- Correction: Children should listen to their parents like his sister did.
- Explanation:
- "Her" is incorrect because the subject "children" is plural and needs the possessive pronoun "their."

---

7. Its not important what people looks like, its how he acts.

- Correction: It's not important what people look like; it's how they act.
- Explanation:
- "Its" is incorrect; the contraction for "it is" is "it's."
- "Looks" is in the wrong form. Since "people" is plural, the verb should be "look."
- "He" is incorrect; the pronoun should be plural "they" to match "people."
- Added a semicolon for better punctuation.

---
