Need more information. Tagalog verbs operate with focus and aspect. What focus are you looking for?
 
i.e. with 'buy' do you want the verb that describes who is doing the buying, or the verb describing what is being bought?
 
So on, for the rest of the verbs.

1. english: buy; tagalog root: bili
- "to buy" -> "bumili"
- "to buy something" -> "bilhin"
- "to buy something for someone" -> "ibili"
- "to be bought" -> "mabili"
 
...maybe you're seeing my point? there are many options, there is not just one single translation of "buy" or for any of these. We need to know the full English of what you want to say to even begin translating something.

@munartamara Well, I don't know if is this what they want but...ok.
 
1. bumili (buy/bought) [actor focus, i.e. who does the buying NOT what is being bought]
2. bumili (bought) [actor focus]
3. binasag (broken) [object focus, i.e. the object that's being broken NOT who is breaking it]
4. hinanap (was looked for) [object focus]
5. naghahanap (is looking for) [actor focus]
6. kumakain (is eating) [actor focus]
7. nagbabasag (is breaking) [actor focus]
8. binabasag (is being broken) [object focus]
9. hinahanap (is being looked for) [object focus]
10. kinakain (is being eaten) [object focus]
 
please be sure that these are the focuses your teacher wants...also, don't just copy and paste...try to understand why they are different

@munartamara only corrections for
1. buy - imperative
A. Actor - Bumili ka. (Go buy)
B. Object - Bilhin mo. (Buy this.)
 
2. Was bought
Object - Binili niya ang bag.
The bag was bought by him/her.
