He/She that followed by may/can/could/might/should cannot followed by 'has'?
He/she + may/can/could/might/should/will (and all their negative forms) cannot be followed by "has"; they can be followed by "have" (and any other verb in the base form): She can have a cookie. He should have studied harder. He will buy (not "buys") a new car. She might ask (not "asks") you out. And so on.
tell me different of so,too,either,and neither .i'm so thankfuk for your answered
Since you're asking about both "so" and "too," you probably want to know about degree. "So" means "extremely, very much" or "to such a great extent": I am so hungry that I could eat two pizzas by myself. That pizza looks so delicious. "Too" means "excessively" or "to a higher degree than is desirable, allowed, or possible": I spent too much money yesterday. His essay had too many errors, so it received a low score.
We use EITHER ... OR when we want to refer to a choice between two possibilities:
- Nan feels like eating EITHER tacos OR ramen for lunch.
- Henry will EITHER wash his car OR write 100 test questions today.
- Peter will be EITHER skiing OR snowboarding when we see him later this afternoon.
We use NEITHER ... NOR when we want to say that not the one or the other of two people/things is true:
- NEITHER Henry NOR Peter feels like going to the gym today.
- We like NEITHER to study NOR to write papers on such a beautiful day.
- Nan wants to watch NEITHER the movies on Netflix NOR the videos on YouTube.
This is how EITHER and NEITHER work in negative sentences:
- You don't like me? Well, I don't like you EITHER! And NEITHER does my brother!
- You don't feel like studying? NEITHER do I!
- She doesn't want to go to the beach today? I don't feel like it EITHER.

When are we supposed to use 'I were' instead of 'I was'?
"I was" is the standard simple past form:
- I was sick yesterday.
- I was tired, so I took a nap.
- I was the winner of last week's race.
"I were" → subjunctive mood. It is most often used with "if" and expresses a wish, a hypothetical situation, a demand, or a proposal:
- If I were you (but I'm not and I never can be), I would study for tomorrow's exam.
- If I were six feet taller (but I'm not and I never can be), I would be a giant.
- If I were a ghost, I wouldn't live in a cemetery.
- If I were Monkey D. Luffy, I would ask Bartolomeo and Cavendish to become honorary Straw Hats.

"Resemble."
what does 'pretentious' really mean? i've googled, but it seems many people use the word and i think what they mean sounds different from one in dictionary.
"Pretentious" describes people who try (or pretend) to be more intelligent, sophisticated, successful, or important than they really are or than other people. For example, "The pretentious, self-important barista made fun of my sister's pronunciation of 'macchiato.'"
"she should have died when she was born" - is this direct? I thought maybe it must be 'has' instead of 'have'...
It is correct. "Should have" is correct. "Should has" is NEVER correct. 🙅
how do i say "banyak juga orang orang yang melakukan penggundulan hutan dan merusak lautan sehingga menyebabkan hewan hewan kehilangan habitatnya" in english ?
Sorry. We have no idea what you're saying. We used Google Translate, and we got this:
"There are many people who do deforestation and damage the oceans causing animal animals lose their habitat." Here's how we would change that: "There are many people who, through deforestation and damage to the oceans, cause animals to lose their habitats."
Please ask English-only questions. Otherwise, we suggest that you use Google Translate. 👍

what is the difference between "i was waiting for you yesterday" and "i waited for you yesterday"? which one is correct?
In spoken English, they're both OK, and they mean the same thing. If you said either one to your friend, they would know that you waited for them yesterday—but they didn't come. After you say that, they would either apologize or explain why they didn't come. However, if you mention for how long you waited, "I waited for you" is right, e.g., "I waited for you yesterday for three hours." ("I was waiting for you yesterday for three hours" sounds awkward.)

What does 'out of blue' mean? and in Bigbang's song - Blue, what does it mean?
"Out of the blue" means "happening unexpectedly or without warning." For example, "It was completely quiet during the exam, but then out of the blue, someone began to sing a love song."
In BIGBANG's song "Blue," it's not "out of the blue," it's "I'm singing my blues," which roughly means "I'm singing about my sadness." ("The blues" or "feeling blue" means "sadness" or "feeling sad.") As you probably know, "Blue" is a sad, reflective song.
