      You mean that it is bad for them.

    1. First of all, now I know who you are.

      Second thing: the second sentence is wrong because homework is uncountable, so...too much.

      The others are right.

    1. Your first sentence is right.

      As for the second, "you have spent" is needed here because you are talking about a day that has already begun but it has not finished.

      Regarding the third sentence, you can choose between "stopping" or "to stop" because actions need either a gerund or an "to + infinitive".

    2. I made a mistake here. ...or "a" "to + infinitive"
