Please, make correction to my sentences.

Greetings!

I have some sentences that I think are incorrect. Here they are:

1) Are you going somewhere today?

2) Can I take the money left over from yesterday?

3) I didn't notice at all that any of girls in school pay/pays attention to me.

4) None of the boys were/was ready to take action.
Thank you.
