My corrections are in <pointy brackets> on the end of the sentences. If the sentence was correct, I said nothing.
1) I saw himon the day before yesterday. <delete "on">
2) He made a lot of friends (when)during he was at university.
3) I've been learning English since (I was ) four years (old).
4) Would you like to come
1) I saw him
2) He made a lot of friends (when)
3) I've been learning English since (I was ) four years (old).
4) Would you like to come

(A) He's retiring in five years. (years') year's time. <Simplify.>
(B) He's retiring in five years' time. Is this a wrong sentence?must be needed to simplify become (A)?
(B) He's retiring in five years' time. Is this a wrong sentence?must be needed to simplify become (A)?

I would say it the shorter way unless for some reason you need a sentence using a possessive. In that case, say: "He's retiring in five years' time." <A plural ending in "s" takes the possessive appostrophe after the "s.">
