Hmm - well it depends how you look at it really - if you're a music analyst and you need them to be cadences, they can be, but then if you want them not to be they don't have to be...

But 6/3 cadences aren't really much good for final cadences at the end of a phrase, except perhaps with imperfect cadences as I showed you early on - so if you want to use for example V6/3 - I as part of a progression, then do, because it'll sound good. But at the end of the exercise, I wouldn't use it as the final cadence. The same applies to the others (except the IV6/3 - I with the passing note in the bass that we saw before).

Don't worry about the questions though! There will come a time when you will know all these things and I'll be testing you!
