There’s 1 error in the list and 1 thing you missed.
1st
Polite/Non-past Negative/i-adjective: There’s a BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN おおきくなりません and おおきくありませんGiven the context of this cheat sheet I am quite sure it’s meant to be おおきくありません “it’s not big.” Whereas, if one were to say おおきくなりません it would mean “It will not be big.”
2nd
Polite/Past Negative/i-adjective

Another form that is acceptable is of course おおきくありませんでした。It’s just less common in conversation between friends and those who regularly see each other and such. Will be glad if you can fix these up. Thanks.
