In situation 4 line 3:一人で行ったの?
Why is the で particle used instead of the に particle here. I thought に indicates direction.

Because 一人で means “alone”, not a place.
Did you go alone?

一人ディズニーランド行きました。- I went to Disneyland alone.

In situation 2, why does he say “I have work today too” when she didn’t have work today? It sounds like something you’d say if she also had work.

He’s saying 今日も, not 僕も. He means “I have work today as usual.”

In the first sentence, how come the line is in te-form as in 「できてる」instead of 「できた」? If the translation is – a new store “was” built. What is the difference between
「新しいお店できてる」and 「あたらしいおみせできた」?

That’s a good question.

新しいお店できてる means “There’s a new store (or restaurant).” It suggests the new store has been open and available to provide their service. It also implies the speaker is interested in the place.

On the other hand, 新しい店ができた just tells the fact. It means “A new store (or restaurant) has just opened or built.

Does it make sense?
