8 Belangrike Sinne
Die appel is rooi.Dit is Johannes se appel.
Ek gee Johannes die appel.
Ons gee hom die appel.
Hy gee dit aan/vir Johannes.
Sy gee dit aan/vir hom.
Ek moet dit aan/vir hom gee.
Ek wil dit aan haar gee.
You needed an e after belangrik since you are using the adjective before the noun (only a few monosyllabic adjectives (swart, mooi, groot) don't usually get this e).
Your first four sentences are perfect. The vir that Emile suggested is not necessary when you are specifying what you are giving and I almost never use it in this case: Ek gee my vriend 'n appel, Sy het hom 'n appel, Ons gee Johannes 'n appel. When using the pronoun dit instead of a noun, aan or vir has to be used: Ek gee dit vir/aan my vriend, Sy gee dit vir/aan hom, Ons gee 'n appel vir/aan Johannes. Aan does indeed sound a bit formal.
In your second last sentence you use a modal verb (wil, moet, kan, etc.). When you use one, the infinitive verb doesn't need a te but it has to move to the end of the sentence. Although your second last sentence was incorrect, your last sentence was constructed perfectly using this rule - wil being the modal verb and gee the infinitive without te and moved to the end.

Good entry, but let's start with the title:
Die 8 sinne is belangrik, maar dis 8 belangrike sinne.
Remember to put the word "vir" in front of the nouns or pronouns:
Ek gee vir Johannes die appel.
Ek gee vir hom die appel.
I don't know if it's just me, but I would rather use "vir" instead of "aan" in these cases. Even though "aan" can be more formal, I would not use it in a colloquial sense. Here is an example of where it would work better:
Die prys word aan hom toegeken. (The prize is awarded to him.)
Your last two sentences appear to be incomplete. Let me know if this helped. I am also available if you need lessons.
Well done, it looks good.
