grey or gray ? how do we spell it right ?
If you live in America, you would spell it "gray." If you live where British English is used, you would spell it "grey." It's the same color (or "colour").
is it "i'm feel free" or "i feel free"?
"I feel free" is right. (So is "I'm FEELING free.")

Is 'technologies' a proper word? When can I use it instead of 'technology'? Thank you very much!
Yes. "Technologies" = specific forms or applications of technology. For example, MIT published this article (called "10 Breakthrough TECHNOLOGIES 2015": http://bit.ly/1DpdKK8) "Technology" is either the singular form or a broad term, e.g., Medical technology is advancing rapidly.

Laser Quest is a game of tag using infrared guns and vests. (See picture.) Here is the line from the song: "And do you still think love is a Laser Quest / Or do you take it all more seriously?" In other words, is love just a childish game to you, or are you more serious about it?

after word "should" we have to write infinitive or not? for example, should TO go or just should go? help ;)
After SHOULD and SHOULDN'T, don't use "to"; just use the base form (bare infinitive):
- You should take a shower. (Not "You should to take a shower.")
- I should be going now. (Not "I should to be going now.")
- We shouldn't exercise when it's really hot. (Not "We shouldn't to exercise ....")
- You should take a shower. (Not "You should to take a shower.")
- I should be going now. (Not "I should to be going now.")
- We shouldn't exercise when it's really hot. (Not "We shouldn't to exercise ....")

which one is correct : "i thought that was you" or "i thought that is you"
"I thought that WAS you" → "thought" is past tense and so is "was."

Is it judgment or judgement?
They're the same word. In American English, we use "judgment." In British English, it's "judgement."
can we say "go to there"?
No. "Go there." Similarly, we say "Come here" (not "Come to here"). ✌️
what 'goes a long way' means? and how to use it?
It means that it's very effective, useful, or helpful, e.g., Learning proper grammar will GO A LONG WAY toward making you a better writer. A strong work ethic GOES A LONG WAY toward being an excellent student.
I dream of you. It is right?
"I dream ABOUT you" is better. "Dream of" is used to express your goals and wishes, e.g., I DREAM OF becoming a doctor. I DREAM OF winning the World Cup.
"Dream about" describes what goes on in your sleep, e.g., I often DREAM ABOUT unicorns. I can't help DREAMING ABOUT you.
