"I had gone for dinner" can be used to say: (past tense) that you went out to get dinner and bring it back - you could instead say: I had gone to get dinner. Alternatively, it could mean (past tense) that you went out to eat dinner - you might want to say: I had gone out to eat dinner. Or, it could mean (past tense) that you were not there for dinner - in this case, a different phrasing could be: I had gone and would not be there for dinner, or, I had gone at dinner time.

Is it correct to say you are going to take dinner?
Yes. No, it is not. Usually, you say you are going to "have" dinner, or "eat" dinner. eg. I am going to have dinner at 8 o'clock tonight. You are going to eat dinner, even if you are sick. To "take" dinner brings up the image of one "taking," or "stealing," someone else's dinner. Hope this helps !
Is it correct to say eating dinner?

Should you say I could have went or I could have gone?
Have gone is correct
Is it correct to say 'my family and I' or 'my family and me?
My family and I is correct before a verb. (nominative case) My family and me is correct after a verb or preposition. (objective case) When deciding on whether to use "I" or "me" in a sentence, you take out the other person(s) and see what would be used. For example, if you were to say "My family and I went to dinner," you take out family and it would read "I went to dinner." "Me went to dinner" doesn't sound right. However, if you were to say "John wanted to go to dinner with my family and I," and take out family, you would be saying "John wanted to go to dinner with I." "I" does not fit here and is grammatically incorrect. The sentence should read "John wants to go to dinner with my family and me." You can do this with any personal pronoun such as we/us, he/him, she/her, or they/them. "She and I went to town." = She went to town. OR I went to town.

Is it correct grammar to say mommy and me?
It depends on the sentence. Always take out the "mommy" and see how the sentence sounds. For example: "There was a nice dinner awaiting mommy and me when we arrived". Change it to "There was a nice dinner awaiting me when I arrived" That is correct. Now try this: " Mommy and me went to the movies". Again, take out "mommy". It becomes "Me went to the movies", which is wrong.

Absolutely. You can say it that way, or you can say "These dogs have gone to deaf people's homes." Either is fine.
Is it grammatically correct to say that food is over?
Over, meaning "ended" is used when referring to things that take some time and then come to an end, such as meals or tennis matches. For things that occur in quantities that can be exhausted, like food, "over" would not be used. "That food is over" is grammatically correct but meaningless except as a Valley Girl slang way of saying "That cuisine is no longer fashionable." If you mean there is no more of something, hamburgers for example, we say The burgers are gone or we're out of burgers. If you mean the meal has ended, dinner for example, we say Dinner is over.
