    Nominative singular
    1. Правильно.
    2. Мой друг придёт в ближайшее время. Better - Мой друг скоро придёт.
    Nominative plural
    1. Снова правильно
    2. Not very good. We use "уже не за горами" talking about time. Мои друзья скоро придут. Или приедут. Мои друзья уже близко.
    Genitive: Singular
    Отлично!
    Genitive: Plural
    Это собака моих друзей. No need in "есть".
    Accusative: Singular
    Nope. The correct form is "друга" because he is a living thing.
    Я люблю своего друга.
    Accusative: Plural
    Правильно.

    The form is correct. But not "настоящий", but "подарок".
    Я подарил/подарила своему другу подарок
    Dative: Plural
    Я подарил/подарила своим друзьям подарок
    Instrumental: Singular/Plural - correct.

    We forgot about Locative! О друге - о друзьях, в руке - в руках.

    Thank you.

    "Nope. The correct form is "друга" because he is a living thing.
    Я люблю своего друга."

    When should I use "мой" and when should I use "свой" when i want to say my?

    Use СВОЙ when the pronoun refers to the same person expressed by the verb in the same clause.

    Дима люблит свою жену. К сожалению, его друг Коля тоже любит его жену. (То есть, жену Димы.)

    The form is correct. But not "настоящий", but "подарок".
    Right -- настоящий means "the present" as contrasted with "the past" and "the future" (like when you're talking about verb tenses). But подарок is "a present" in the sense of "a gift" (as in, "We gave him a shirt as a birthday gift").

    I guess it would be better to say that "настоящий" is an adjective (masculine) and "подарок" is a noun (masculine too).

    Also "настоящий" could mean "real", "authentic", "genuine"
