Hi! What does life hacks mean? I dont get it thank you
A "life hack" is a strategy or technique that helps you manage your time and daily activities in a more efficient way. (Take a look at the picture for a life hack that we actually use.)

when to use "should" and when to use "must"? I mean, both of them have the same meaning, right? Thanks before!
They're similar but not exactly the same. "Should" is less forceful than "must." For example, if someone says "You should tip the waiter 15%," it's a suggestion; if I don't tip the waiter 15%, nothing bad will happen to me. However, "You must tip the waiter 15%" is a requirement; if I don't do so on my own, then the restaurant will force me to comply. The difference becomes even clearer when we use them in question form: "Should I go?" vs. "Must I go?" is clearly different. If I ask "Should I go?" and someone says "Yes," I could still decide not to go. However, if I ask "Must I go?" and someone replies "Yes," then I have no choice.
does it same with love you to the moon and back ? im confuse sometimes
If you're asking about "Love you to bits," then yes.

Straight As or straight A's?
Capital letters can be made plural by adding "s" or ['s]. There are good arguments on both sides for why one is better than the other. But for lower-case letters, we make them plural by using ['s], for example, "There are for i's and four s's in 'Mississippi.'"
What does "i'm on a streak" mean?
"On a streak" is used with something like "winning," "lucky," or "losing," e.g., "The team is on a winning streak," which would mean that the team has won many games in a row. Similarly, "I'm on a lucky streak" would mean that I've been lucky many times in a row.
guys is only for men or can be used for women too ?
"Guys" is technically a synonym for "men," but in everyday usage, "guys" can refer to a combination of men and women. For example, if someone wanted to refer to us admins (two guys and a girl), they could say something like "Those guys are awesome." But if the group had only girls, it would be weird to say "Those guys are awesome." In that case, "Those girls" or "Those ladies" would be much better.
Having said that, if you're just saying hi to a bunch of people (even if the group has only girls), "Hey, guys!" is fine.

Can you explain "to be"(is am are) is followed by what?
Generally speaking, AM, IS, and ARE can be followed by a noun, adjective, verb (in the -ing form), or adverb (mainly HERE, THERE):
- I am a doctor. ("Doctor" is a noun.)
- She is tall. ("Tall" is an adjective.)
- They are running. ("Running" is a verb.)
- Peter and Henry are here. ("Here" is an adverb.)
- I am a doctor. ("Doctor" is a noun.)
- She is tall. ("Tall" is an adjective.)
- They are running. ("Running" is a verb.)
- Peter and Henry are here. ("Here" is an adverb.)

whats love you to bits means ?
It's another way of saying "I love you a lot."
in spite the fact that right or wrong?
"In spite of the fact that ...," e.g., In spite of the fact that it's raining, Nan went for a jog.
"Despite the fact that ..." also works.

Is that true that Americans often make a fun of people (in public especially) who talk with the strange accent (because they are from ESL country)?
It has gotten a lot better because more Americans are becoming educated about people of other cultures. For example, in a city as diverse as Los Angeles, it is not very common. Besides, many Americans themselves are poor at speaking and writing in English. (And they're even worse at other languages.) We always spread the message from H. Jackson Brown Jr.'s quote—because it's so true. 🙏
could u please simplify the use of on/in/at?
The simplest thing to do is to look at the picture. It gives a really general illustration of when to use "in," "on," and "at."

"You and I" and "You and me" what's the difference between them? i've always thought that "you and i" is the one correct, but sometimes my english teacher says that "you and me" can also be correct.
Your teacher is right: both "you and I" and "you and me" can be right, depending on the situation.
It would take too long to explain this topic here, so read this article we wrote: http://tmblr.co/Z90tLy1nRgIFS (And take a look at the picture for the shortcut to see which one is right.)

"mean girls is my favorite movie of all the time" or "mean girls is my favorite all time movie"
"'Mean Girls' is my favorite movie of all time."
" only " and " just " ?

i know your motives truly or i know your motive truthfully?
Neither. Either "I know your true motives" or "I know your real motives" is how most native speakers would say it.

"did you loved pattern" is that right?
No. After DID, DIDN'T, DO, DON'T, DOES, and DOESN'T, we always use the base form (bare infinitive) of the verb:
- Did you LOVE the way I danced?
- Don't they LIKE my cooking?
- Doesn't she KNOW the answer?
- Does Peter ENJOY driving in the rain?
- Did you LOVE the way I danced?
- Don't they LIKE my cooking?
- Doesn't she KNOW the answer?
- Does Peter ENJOY driving in the rain?
which one is true ? she works at hospital or she works in hospital ?
"She works at a hospital." 🏥
it is what I wanted the most or it is what I want the most? Or it is what I want/wanted most?
The most common ways to express that are "It is what I want most" and "It's what I want more than anything else." (But "It is what I want the most" is not wrong.) With the past tense "wanted," something like "It's what I've always wanted" is a common expression, but it means something different from what you're trying to say.

Love bird or love birds?
For people who are in love (or are lovers), it's always plural: "lovebirds." 💑 A "lovebird" is an actual bird 🐦; it's a type of parrot.
Can you please give the the First person like I, You the second person and the third person? I forgot
First person singular: I; first person plural: we.
Second person singular: you; second person plural: you.
Third person singular: he, she, it; third person plural: they.
Second person singular: you; second person plural: you.
Third person singular: he, she, it; third person plural: they.
