LESSON EIGHT
Good evening!I'm listening to music, specifically U2 songs. I'm hungry but I will sup have dinner when my wife will fake the takes a shower.
Sup is not actually wrong but it's very old fashioned. I think it may still be used in northern England but hardly anywhere else. In the last part of the sentence I'm assuming that you will eat while your wife is still in the shower. If you meant that she would take a shower before you eat it would be "will have dinner after my wife takes a shower"
We will eat more later, after I return later from work.
This needs "will" because you are talking about a future event rather than a present one. English is more strict than Italian in that sense; in Italian the present tense can be used for something in the near future, in English it's rarer to do that.The fact that you are talking about an event that will occur later is covered by the first use of that word. "After" then goes on to clarify exactly when that is.
Today I finished work at seven o'clock. and I got home at eight, but my wife had not returned wasn't return from the gym.
This sentence runs on a bit. It's better to split it into two sentences. You can't say "wasn't return" (return is a verb, and you can't "be" a verb), though you could also say "wasn't home from the gym".
When I return home first, we eat late anyway.

Keep it up, you're doing well with these. You're getting the meaning across well and most of the corrections are just grammar issues that will come more naturally with practice.
