1. If I had done my homework, I woudn't ~~get~~ have got(ten) an E.
2. I wouldn't have lost my mobile phone if I had had it in my bag.
3. If the weather hadn't been so bad, our house wouldn't have been destroyed.
4. I wouldn't have broken my knee if I had had a knee pad.
5. We would have had gas if the Russians hadn't closed the ~~ventiles~~ valves.

I think you mean closed the valves, but you can also say if the Russians hadn't cut off the supply.

I need another check. Please

It rained all day.
If the weather (not be) so bad, we (go out).
--> If the weather hadn't been so bad, we would have gone out.

We except Mary to be here soon.
If she (not arrive), we (found) her.
--> If she doesn't arrive, we will find her.

There is a bus.
If we (get on that one), we (arrive in time).
I can't see the bus, but even if we (catch) a bus now, we (be) late.
--> If we get on that one, we will arrive in time.
--> I can't see the bus, but even, if we caught a bus now, we would be late.

--> I can't see the bus, but even [, no comma] if we caught a bus now, we would be late. OK.

(They're not all second conditionals like the first batch. You didn't say if that's required in this exercise.)
