This is knit-picky, but I'd change the order so the topic, translation practice, comes first.

She hasn't done her homework yet because she has been practicing the piano since theall afternoon.

"Since the afternoon" sounds a little stiff, or overly proper.
A more casual way to phrase something like this would be to say: "she was practicing all afternoon" or "he is tired this morning because he was up all night".

He couldn't get into his house because he had forgotten his key.

If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have finished that job.

Well done! They all translated very well!

In a spoken conversation, the listener would still completely understand what you were saying!

"since the morning," "since the afternoon," etc. sound weird to me. I feel like I only hear this phrasing with "this" not "the"

He couldn't get into his house because he had forgotten his key.

If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have finished that job.

Good, but also "If it hadn't been for your help" or "If not for your help" (sounds a little old-fashioned)

Thank you for letting me know "If it hadn't for~" sound a little old-fashioned.
It said, I can use "without you" or " Thanks to you" when I looked it up.

Without you, I wouldn't have finished that job.

Thank you for checking my writing.

She hasn't done her homework yet because she has been practicing the piano since theall afternoon.

"Since the afternoon" AI likes this phrase and approves your use of it.

That said, if she practiced during the entire afternoon, I prefer "all afternoon."
Another option I prefer is to change the wording: "she has spent the afternoon / the entire afternoon practicing the piano."

If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have finished that job.

Grammatically correct.
Contrast with: "Thanks to you, I finished that job!"

Thank you so much.
I see. I sometimes use the AI when I study English, and I sometimes get the AI to give me questions in Japanese. 
It helps me.
