I have been given five attempts and have use four of them. I have been able to get 2 complete answers correct but the other three I have only gotten part of it correct. Can someone help me with the other 3 and explain why I have continuously gotten them wrong?

aburrir
caer mal
doler
encantar

—¿Te gusta la habitación? —¡En absoluto! Las camas son duras. ¿Qué hago si mañana (2) ME CAIGO MAL las piernas?

—¿Te gusta este restaurante? —Para nada. Y además, (3) ME ABURRO este camarero. Es muy poco amable.

—¿Te gusta la película? —¡No! A mí (4) ME ENCANTO terriblemente las películas románticas y sin acción como ésta.

You are getting this wrong two ways-

First you are using the wrong verb, then you are conjugating it wrong:

Aburrir- bore

caer mal- doesn’t sit well with (like)

doler- give pain/hurt

encantar- enchant (love)

Do you understand the Spanish (if you are to this level you should):

What are your legs liable to do if you sleep in a hard bed?

I suppose the waiter could bore you, but don’t you think it more likely he doesn’t sit well with you (you don’t like him)

What is the movie going to do to you if you don’t like it because it is romantic and lacks action?

Give the verbs another spin.

Then remember the things are hurting you, boring you, etc. So the conjugation should not end in o, me is the object but yo is not the subject, pick your subjects and conjugate to them. Post a new try that is closer here (don’t use your last try on the computer) and we will try to help you get it right.

aburrir caer mal doler encantar

???¿Te gusta la habitación? —¡En absoluto! Las camas son duras. ¿Qué hago si mañana (2) me caigo mal  las piernas?

—¿Te gusta este restaurante? —Para nada. Y además, (3) ME ABURRO este camarero. Es muy poco amable.

—¿Te gusta la película? —¡No! A mí (4) ME ENCANTO terriblemente las películas románticas y sin acción como ésta.

Do you like the room?. No it doesn't. The beds are unconfortable. What I'll do Tomorrow if my legs Hurt me? This is more or less what you must respond in Spanish if I have not done mistakes as usual. And you have said . If I don't like me the legs what it has not sense.

More or less with the second one and the third one.

If you don't like the film you can't say that it pleases you but you can say that it bores you.

If the waiter isn't kind you could say that you don't like him

An advice. In English you say I Like him but in Spanish we omitt the subject ( el) and we change te pronom order ataching it before verb (el) me gusta ( it pleases me). So the verb must match with the subject (el) . ( EL) Me aburrE .IT boreS me.

(Sorry I was thinking in other thing before and I have given you a wrong explanation now corrected)

—¿Te gusta la habitación? —¡En absoluto! Las camas son duras. ¿Qué hago si mañana (2) me duelen las piernas?

Remember, the subject in these sentences is place after the verb, that's why you are not conjugating them correctly.

turn the sentence round: Las piernas me duelen Does that make more sense?

—¿Te gusta este restaurante? —Para nada. Y además, (3) Me cae mal este camarero. Es muy poco amable.

This one was wrong...caer mal = the waiter annoys me terribly

—¿Te gusta la película? —¡No! A mí (4) ME aburren terriblemente las películas románticas y sin acción como ésta.

Turn the sentence round again: las películas me aburren. it has to be plural
