what "used to" mean? thanks for the answer

We use "used to" to describe something that happened regularly in the past (but not now), e.g., We used to be good friends when we were children. He used to play video games before he discovered "Harry Potter" books.
"(Be) used to" means "familiar with," e.g., I am used to cold weather because I grew up in Russia. She is used to studying in a loud environment—she has three younger siblings.

Hi. Does all words that end with "-ze" for example criticize can be changed into "-se"? Because, i'm used with british english but im just curious and i see many people mixed british and american english in sentences. Thank you for answering me. :)

Broadly speaking, yes. Check out the chart we found on this page: http://bit.ly/1Vsiisv

When do we use will and would? Like why is it "would you like some coffee?" Not "will you like some coffee?"

"Would you ...?" is used to ask someone what they want to eat, drink, read, do, etc., ask a hypothetical/theoretical question, or inquire about a preference:
- Would you like something to drink?
- Would you like some milk for your coffee?
- Would you eat a dead person if that's the only food you had to survive?
- Would you rather write a 10-page essay or read a 500-page book?
"Will you ...?" is used to ask someone if they are going to do something:
- Will you marry me?
- Will you be joining us for tea?
- Will you be studying abroad next year?

Whats the difference between learn and study?

To "learn" means to gain knowledge of something. To "study" is to read, research, or do some other activity in order to learn. In other words, you can study something but not learn it (because you don't understand it, the material is to complicated, etc.). You can learn something without studying it; you can learn from experience, e.g., I learned about survival while being lost on an island for two weeks.

Hi! I wanna ask u:) e.g. -"I fall in love with someone" -"with who?/with whom?" If the answer is "you" ??? Sorry for my English:((( cmiiw:))

"Whom," e.g., Whom did you fall in love with? or With whom did you fall in love? In formal written English, we use "whom" (not "who") with prepositions, e.g., at whom, for whom, by whom, with whom, beside whom, about whom, of whom—and so on. In spoken English or in informal contexts, no one really cares about the difference between "who" and "whom."

Which one is corret: My favorite food is ...., ..., and... Or My favorite food are ..., ..., and...? Thank you!

"Are" because you're mentioning several things, i.e., you need a plural verb. (Many people would also use "foods" instead of "food" in that example. Here's why: https://tmblr.co/Z90tLy1_nMEGe) If you want to avoid the food/foods dilemma, you can rephrase it this way: "My favorite things to eat are ..." or be more specific, e.g., "My favorite desserts are ..."

Which is correct? 'See you on top!', 'See you on the top!', or 'See you at the top!'?

"See you at the top!" is a motivational/encouraging way of saying "I know you'll succeed (like I did)." It could also mean "I know that we'll both succeed." (It was a quote made famous by the motivational speaker/writer Zig Ziglar.) Literally, it can mean "I'll see you at the top (of the mountain, building, etc.)."

Which is the correct sentence? "You don't even have a clue on what's going on today do you" "You don't even have a clue on what's going on today don't you" And how do we know whether to use "don't you" or "do you"?

"You don't even have a clue about what's going on today, do you?"
Since you already used "don't" in the first part of the question, don't use "don't" again in the second part. Similarly, "You aren't tired, are you?" (Since we used "aren't" in the first part, we use "are" in the second part.)
- You don't smoke, do you?
- The store isn't closed, is it?
- We aren't going to the meeting, are we?

'if I was' or 'if I were'?

Use "if I was" if you're talking about something that happened in the past:
- Yesterday, Nan asked me if I was sick.
- Last month, my teacher wondered if I was planning on applying to college.
Use "if I were" if you're talking about a hypothetical situation:
- If I were you, I would study harder and go to bed earlier.
- If I were Spider-Man, I would build the Eiffel Tower out of webs.

what does "sugar-coat" (verb) stand for ??? what are the synonyms for this word ? thnx

To "sugarcoat" something means to make something (usually bad) sound better than it really is. For example, "Nan tried to sugarcoat that she had accidentally deleted Henry's 30-page essay by telling him that it was a chance for him to write something even better."
