1 & 2 are fine
3 needs an accent on the E
4 Ella prefiere no halbar --- what you put means she doesn't prefer to speak .. it should be she prefers not to speak
5 is past tense and you forgot to put 'how' => Ella no sabía cómo

Almost all sentences are correct, except the last one. It must be 'ella no supo como' it's in the past. And the second one should be more like 'Ella no sabe como hablar".

Go to YAHOO widgets and download the free mini-translator, it has worked good for me.

5 is wrong she didn't is past tense.... ella no sabia(supo) ....but if you want to say that she didn't know it...ella no lo sabia(supo)... and if you want to say she didn't know how to do it....ella no sabia(supo) como hacerlo.
