Organic chem which componds with exhibit hydrogen bonding for intermolecular forces?

I don't understand how to determine this

1.ch3ch2F
2.ch3ch2Och3
3.ch3Nch3ch3
4.ch3ch2ch2ch3
5.ch3ch2ch2nh2

Hydrogen bond is the electrostatic force of attraction between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom ( nitrogen or oxygen or fluorine ) and another very electronegative atom ( N, O or F) of another molecule.

To determine the hydrogen bond,
1) Identify the presence of N, O or F in the molecule.
2) Determine whether there is a hydrogen atom directly attached to N, O or F

If the answers to 1) & 2) are YES, then it can form hydrogen bond.

1. There is no hydrogen atom directly attached to F
2. There is no hydrogen atom directly attached to O
3. There is no hydrogen atom directly attached to N
4. There is no N, O or F
5. The answers to 1) and 2) are YES. So............
