the difference between while and whilst
We Americans use only "while." In British English, "whilst" used to be common, but it is now considered old-fashioned. (As a conjunction, they have the same meaning.)
- Nan slept WHILE Henry worked. (RIGHT)
- Nan slept WHILST Henry worked. (RIGHT)
However, as a noun, only "while" works:
- I'll see you in a WHILE. (RIGHT)
- I'll see you in a WHILST. (WRONG)
- Nan slept WHILE Henry worked. (RIGHT)
- Nan slept WHILST Henry worked. (RIGHT)
However, as a noun, only "while" works:
- I'll see you in a WHILE. (RIGHT)
- I'll see you in a WHILST. (WRONG)

she makes me to drink or she makes me drink?
"She makes me drink."
After MAKE, MAKES, or MADE, use the base form (bare infinitive) of the verb, i.e., without "to":
- Her jokes always make me LAUGH.
- Listening to that song makes me CRY.

Whats the meaning and difference of 'enamor' and 'enamour' ? Thanks!
There is absolutely no difference. They're the same word. "Enamor" is American spelling; "enamour" is British spelling. If you don't live in America, you most likely use "enamour."

'like he owned the palace.' what kind of adverb is it?
It's more commonly expressed as "as if he owned the place." It's a negative way of saying that someone acted in a way that is too confident or arrogant:
- The new worker sat in his boss's chair as if he owned the place.
- Henry's neighbor sat at Henry's desk and began to use his computer without asking, as if he owned the place.
- The new worker sat in his boss's chair as if he owned the place.

i confuse with "had had" and "that that". what i know is that both are grammatically correct but idk why is that so. can u help me clarify this thing?
They just look weird, but they're fine:
- I had had a cold until yesterday. (It's just "had + had [past participle of "have"].")
- The pencil that that boy used during the exam is actually mine. (It's the same as "The pencil which that boy used during the exam is actually mine.")
- I had had a cold until yesterday. (It's just "had + had [past participle of "have"].")
