  1. my version

    1.  My parents being away, we can have a party at my place

    2.  She was driving for the very first time and drove the car for 5 minutes and crashed

    3.  I was walking down the street and met a former classmate


  2. They're all incorrect.

    1) BECAUSE my parents are away at present, we can have our party at my place.

    2) BECAUSE it was her very first time, she drove a car for five minutes and crashed. OR

    3) WHILE walking down the street, I found a former classmate.  

  3. Well, first of all your question is worded incorrectly, it should be:

    Are any of these statements correct?

    They were all wrong.

    1) My parents are presently away, we could have our party at my place.

    2) Being that it's her very first time, she drove the car for five minutes and crashed.

    3) While walking down the street, I found a former classmate.

  4. You get the gist but they are incorrect grammatically and sound awkward. It doesn't seem like your English skills are strong enough yet to form complex sentence structures.

    Are any of these statements correct?

    1. You do not use commas "," to separate complete sentences.

    Being that my parents are away, we can have our party at my place.

    2. "That" doesn't belong in the sentence. It is better to use "then" instead of "and" because you are indicating these events happened at different points in time.

    Being her very first time driving, she drove the car for 5 minute before crashing.

    3.  The third sentence is grammatically correct, but it sounds awkward.

    While walking down the street, I saw a former classmate.

  5. No. Since it seems you do not know how to start a sentence properly w/a phrase, stick to sentences using subject/verb. As your writing skills improve, you can use other sentence structures.
