    ´Just because´ está muy bien. Bueno, dependiendo del contexto, también se puede decir 'Just because I feel/felt like it' o algo parecido, también 'for no reason´.

    To bang ON the table means to hit the top of the table. If someone is ON the bed that means that they are on the top portion of the bed. Bang kind of just means hit. So you could hit any part or side of a table but if they use the preposition ON then they are just being a little more precise.

    ''The problems tree'' - Can you please correct my text?

    This story is about a man who hired a carpenter to help him fix some things on his farm. The first day was very tough for the carpenter. His car had a flat tire. The electric saw broke. He cut his finger. And at the end of the day, his car wasn’t working. The man who hired the carpenter offered to give the carpenter a ride home. Along the way, the carpenter didn’t say anything. When they got to his house, the carpenter invited the man to enter and eat with his family. When they both were walking up to the front door, the carpenter stopped near a small tree and gently touched the tips of the twigs with both his hands. When the carpenter opened his front door the expression on his face changed, the uptight look on his face transformed into a big smile, and he hugged his children and kissed his wife. A little bit later, the carpenter accompanied his visit to his car. As soon as they passed by the tree, the man asked: ‘’why did you touch the plant before entering the house?’’ The carpenter said: ‘’Ah! This is my problems tree. I know that I can’t avoid having problems at my work, but these problems can’t get close to my children and wife. So, every night, I leave my problems in this tree when I come home, and I pick them up again the next day. And you know what? Every morning, when I pick my problems back up again, they aren't even half as bad as I remember them being the night before.

    I don't know where this very colloquial expression originated from, but the way you 'roll' is the way you do things, your style of living, your habits, the way you move or the moves you make. It's a stupid expression and it's almost always made in a joking sense. In the above dialogue it's a play-on-words because sushi restaurants in the US mostly serve 'sushi rolls'/makizushi. So he means that he loves sushi rolls and he made a pun about the expression about how people 'roll'.

    Your sentences look perfect to me. First Conditional - If x happens, y will happen. Second Conditional - If x happened, y would happen. Third Conditional - If x had happened, y would have happened.

    'I have never been married' implies the ending 'in my life' whereas 'I never married' sounds like you're talking about a missed opportunity at a specific moment in the distant past or a past life or something. Basically, no one would ever use the second phrase.

    1) Definitely use 'tighten' since 'pull up' means to elevate or raise. In the U.S. we call those 'lug nuts'. There should be a period after wheels. 2) I always say 'I hate IT when..', but I don't think it matters much. 3) 'what WAS in it' 4) trouble is usually a non-countable noun. 'I was having trouble (a hard time) skiing at first. But after...' 6) 'feels a strong affection to' sounds awkward. Maybe you should say 'attachment' instead of 'affection'. 7) 'thereby' is too formal for this sentence. So he asked THEM to give him some time...

    A plot is a conspiracy, a secret plan, people working in secret to achieve a common goal. In this context, it means that someone thinks that other people are secretly doing things that will benefit him. Normally, when people are plotting it means that they have bad intentions. ´Plotting´ is not usually associated with good intentions as it is in the text you cited. Usually, a group plots to end a government or kill a king or something.
