Picking up odd expressions!

When I talk with others, I usually use expressions like " I said that", " I answered that", "I asked when"," I questioned to her when". "She talked that" and so on. Could you pick up odd expressions?

eg1) I answered that he might go right now.
eg2) I replied that he might go right now.
eg3) She talked that she could come back tomorrow.
eg4) She said that she could come back tomorrow.
eg5) She questioned to me when I could come there to pick her up.
eg6) She asked me when I could come there to pick her up.
eg7) But I heard that she would come her tomorrow.

Thank you in advance for your teaching.
