Tense problem, simple or contiuous, past or perfect tense?

Could you please tell me how to properly say these sentences?

- Let me know when you are here/get here.

- I came tonight because I knew you would rather I came/ had come. (does this mean I came)

- When I ask you for a favor, it always feels like I annoy you/I'm annoying you and owe you something.

- He doesn't know if anyone is behind him if the opponent were/is to do that.

- Imagine what happens/ will happen once he starts playing better.

- Where were you seated/sitting?

- I was nice enough to give you my spot while you ate./while you were eating.

- He hit a shot as the clock winded down./was winding down.

- He picked up the pace as the game moves along./is moving along.

Thank you
