The most blatant problem is an extra pair of brackets.  Don't confuse 
brackets [] with parentheses () or curly brackets {} which all have 
different meanings to Mathematica.  Not to be harsh, but it looks to me 
like to need to read the manual.

Plot[Sin[x]^(1/3), {x, -10, 10}]

If you're looking for a different result try:

Plot[Abs[Sin[x]^(1/3)], {x, -10, 10}]
Plot[Re[Sin[x]^(1/3)], {x, -10, 10}]

Try not to send so many messages to the list.  Instead, hold off, and send 
all your questions in one message, lest you perturb someone.
