Bonjour!

Vous viendrez en Ecosse.

Je ferai un gâteau.
Il pourra venir en samedi.
Tu voudras vendir avec nous?
Nous saurons par lundi.
Elles viendront au cinéma.

Anna - verbs are fine. You have missed an 's' at the end of 'cocas'. You need to say 'tous les verbes' (masculine plural). However, you can't use 'savoir' like this - remember that it means 'to know how to..', so something like 'Elle saura nager' would work. Does that make sense?

Andrea - your verbs are also fine. Don't think 'faire un gâteau' really works - think I would use something like 'préparer un gâteau', and use 'faire' with something like 'mes devoirs'. In your second sentence you would simply say 'Il pourra venir samedi'. In the third sentence the infinitive should of course be 'venir'. In the fourth sentence you can't really use 'par' - you could use 'avant lundi'. Hope this helps!
