Answer

Casual, American English:

1. Go sit down at the table for lunch.
2. Eat your spaghetti.
3. I don't want you to bite anybody!
4. Why did you break up your train. Why did you break it apart?
5. The trailer was ripped off the truck. The truck was destroyed. The truck was torn apart. (I don't know if it's wrong, but I wouldn't use the present perfect tense here if I'm talking to someone about the video)
6. He's/She's parking the car. (Until self-driving cars are the norm, we will still indicate the person who is parking the car) 
7. We've run out of chips! We don't have anymore chips!
8. Do you want me to put on Peppa Pig? (I'm not sure it's universally used in other English-speaking countries, but where I'm from we use the phrasal verb "to put on" when referring to television. "Dude, it's 1 o'clock, put on the game!"
