The suffix -'egh has a ' with it.

The pronoun jIH is optional, but the prefix jI- is not.
jIHoSchoHta' (jIH)
Adding jIH adds emphasis that it was YOU, not someone else.

As far as we know, qet is "run", not "run (to)".
Qe'Daq jIqetlI' - this can have two meanings. Either you are running TO the
restaurant, or you are IN the restaurant running around inside.
We could use two sentences:
jIqet. Qe' vIghoS.
I'm running. I'm going to the restaurant.

With these two sentences you need the suffix -moH "cause"
yaS vI'oy'moH(pu'/ta')
> De'vam vIja'neS
> I humbly report this information; I report this information, your honor.
maj

Prefix. ... bItlhIb (SoH)

The klingon is a statement, the english is an imperative.
bIghoSpa' HIboQ
> DujlIj SorghtaHvIS ghaH vItu'laH
> While he was sabotaging your ship, I was able to find him.
maj

You forgot the word for "which"; actually it would be a suffix, -bogh.
HIq tlhutlhtaHbogh HoD vImaSbej
"I certainly prefer the beer which the captain is drinking."
or "I certainly prefer the captain which is drinking the beer."
To clarify which meaning you intend, you can use the noun suffix -'e' on the
head noun of the relative clause.
HIq'e' tlhutlhtaHbogh HoD vImaSbej
"I certainly prefer the beer which the captain is drinking."
HIq tlhutlhtaHbogh HoD'e' vImaSbej
"I certainly prefer the captain which is drinking the beer."

Overall, you do a good job. Only minor errors.
