Great sentences! 1) What do you want for breakfast, scrambled eggs or porridge? 2) I take pity on him because of all the troubles that have swamped him recently. 5) The government imposed huge taxes on small businesses so many companies had to close down.

@Jennifer: "Not sure what porridge is" Pease porridge hot, pease porridge cold, Pease porridge in the pot, nine days old; Some like it hot, some like it cold, Some like it in the pot, nine days old. A well-known nursery rhyme: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pease_Porridge_Hot

Thanks!)

1. What do you want for breakfast? Scrambled eggs or oatmeal? (Not sure what porridge is but thinking it is oatmeal you are referring to.) 2. I feel sorry for him because of all the troubles he has had lately. You could replace lately with recently. (Your sentence was grammatically correct but it was not exactly how we would say it in English) 3. no changes 4. great! no changes 5. Almost perfect except you need a comma--The government imposed huge taxes on small businesses, so many companies had to close down. 6. No changes but a different way to say it would be: Your conscious will guide you in such situations. GREAT sentences.
