Today i lost my car keys at college. I spent about 3 hours looking for them. I asked at the information desk and someone had handed them in. Please correct me! If possible, when correcting can you explain WHY something is wrong, especially if it's the syntax. Vielen Dank!

Ich habe heute im College meinen Autoschlüssel verloren. For the German 'Perfekt' tense, you need a form of either 'haben' or 'sein,' in this case 'ich habe verloren.'

Ich verbrachte drei Stunden damit, nach ihm zu suchen. 'to spent time doing sth' is 'Zeit damit verbringen, etw zu tun' in German. As you say 'Schlüssel,' which is singular, in sentence one, you need to use a singular pronoun in sentence two, too.

Ich habe bei der Information nachgefragt, und jemand hatte sie dort abgegeben. For the correct form of the Perfekt, see sentence one. 'hand sth in' is 'etw abgeben' in German; 'etw übergeben' would be 'hand sb sth / hand sth over.' The word 'Auskunft' is normally used when referring to a phone number you call in order to get some information.
