7. The covered area outside a house where people sit in the evening: Patio, porch, screened porch or back porch
8. Carbonated, sweetened, non-alcoholic beverages: Generic would be soda water, pop or soda pop
9. A flat, round breakfast food served with syrup: Pancakes
10. A long sandwich designed to be a whole meal in itself: sub
11. The piece of clothing worn by men at the beach: Trunks, swim suit
12. Shoes worn for sports: When I was a kid they were called Tennis shoes or Keds. Keds was a brand name.
Now sports shoes, cross trainers or trainers.
13. Putting a room in order: cleaning up or picking up

on the other side and goes down: See-saw or teeter-totter

18. What's it called when private citizens put up signs and sell their used stuff: Garage sale if it is at your house.
We do have what are called Flea Markets or swap meets. Usually a huge area where people put up booths to sell stuff.

not have basements. The ground would shift too much since the black dirt in our area was so soft.
21. What do you call the thing that you can get water out of to drink in public places: Water Fountain?
