Hi,
Would you please check these sentences and correct them for me?
1. The physician's/dermatologist's/pediatrician's/dentist's (office/clinic) opens from 9 to 5.
2-1. If you have these symptoms, you [will have to, have to, must, should] see a doctor.
2-2. If you had these symptoms, you [would have to, have to, must, should] see a doctor.
3. That's not the answer to my question. or Don't give absurd/ridiculous/irrelevant answers. [Do these all have basically the same meaning?]
4. Charlie missed his curfew again last night. Take care of that/him.
5. He was out late with Beth last night.
6. He was/got/came home late.
Thanks in advance.
Have a good day.

1. The physician's/dermatologist's/pediatrician's/dentist's (office/clinic) opens from 9 to 5. (OK).
2-1. If you have these symptoms, you [will have to, have to, must, should] see a doctor. (OK).
2-2. If you had these symptoms, you [would have to, <strike>have to, must, should</strike>] see a doctor.
3. That's not the answer to my question. (OK).
or Don't give absurd/ridiculous/irrelevant answers.
[Do these all have basically the same meaning?] (absurd/ridiculous are basically the same. Irrelevant is similar to "that's not the answer").
4. Charlie missed his curfew again last night. Take care of that/him. (OK).
5. He was out late with Beth last night. (OK).
6. He was/got/came home late. (OK).
