Ok thanks for help how about the sentences below:

Whenever I talk to him I'm always blue in the face or When I am talking to him I am always blue in the face

I heard you had been cleaning the whole house for my arrival or I heard you were cleaning the whole house for my arrival

Have you already eaten dinner? What did you do today( let's assume now it is late afternoon) or What have you been doing today? or What have you done today?

I have been learning English for a couple of hours , I have been cleaning , I have been reading some books etc.

When I want to ask someone When did you arrive? How long have you been here?

And someone asks me Did you sleep well? Can I say I didn't sleep well because people were hanging around all night long, they were entering the rooom and leaving the room, some of them were snoring, I was turning and rolling in a bed from on side to to other.
If there were more than one window in the room, I would not be so stuffy.

Too many questions. In the future, please post new posts separately with just two or three sentences in each.

The first one is better.

I heard you had been cleaning the whole house for my arrival or I heard you were cleaning the whole house for my arrival
The second one is better.

Have you already eaten dinner? What did you do today( let's assume now it is late afternoon) or What have you been doing today? or What have you done today?
All OK.

I have been learning English ~~for a couple of hours~~ , I have been cleaning , I have been reading some books etc.
OK as shown.

When I want to ask someone
When did you arrive? How long have you been here?
Both OK.

And someone asks me Did you sleep well? Can I say
I didn't sleep well because people were hanging around all night long; they were entering the room and leaving the room; some of them were snoring; I was turning and rolling ~~in a bed from on side to to other.~~ in bed from side to side. Otherwise, all OK.

If there were more than one window in the room, I would not be so stuffy. (stuffy applies to the room, not to you.)
