1st one:
Move 1:Knight moves to G5- check
Only move for white is King to H4

Move 2:Black: Queen moves to E4- check.
Only move for white is to take the knight at G5.

Move 3: Black moves it's pawn to H6- check.
Only move for white is to take the pawn at H6.

Move 4: Queen to H4- check mate.

In the second one of course rook to H7 is check mate.

I am sorry if my description of moves are not technically perfect, I am just starting to learn the game.

I think the first position is slightly more complicated. I think you're overlooking a defense:

I think that's right!

hmm but it is mate in 4?
just the wrong sequence given?
Ng5+ Kh4 and now not Qe4+ but Qf3 (threatening Qh5#) Qg7+ Kxg7 Kxg5 Qg4#

Queen can't go h4 and mate since the g3 pawn is defending the h4 square.
