"A lost cause" = something that has little or no chance of succeeding or being improved, e.g., Trying to get an A in this class is *a lost cause*: no one has done so in the past three years.

To understand "can not" vs. "could not," you need to learn the difference between "can" and "could" (see picture). If you want a longer explanation, read this: http://bit.ly/1Cx5Dtr ✌️
Is that 'I am interester applying as private teacher' already correct?
"I am interested in applying for the position of private teacher" is right. If you're not applying for a specific job position, "I am interested in becoming a private teacher" is right. ✌️
"My deepest thanks GO to ..." is right, since "thanks" is a plural noun. Having said that, "thanks" doesn't exist in a singular form (there is no "thank" as a noun). A better way to solve this problem is to avoid using "go," e.g., "I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to Jo." ✌️
Hi, i always confused about using of help. Should i put a gerund, infinitive or bare infinitve after that or it depends? It would be so great if you also give some example sentences because i keep forgetting it T___T
- It depends ON what you're talking about. - It depends ON what she wants to do today. - It depends ON how well he does on tomorrow's exam.- Did you know THAT smoking (gerund) is bad for your health? - I recommend THAT she READ (subjunctive mood) the book before writing her essay. - I learned THAT TO WIN (infinitive), I need TO PRACTICE.We're not 100% sure if that's what you were asking. If you meant something else, feel free to ask again. ✌️
"Don't worry" = Do not worry, e.g, "Don't worry about tomorrow's exam: it'll be easy.""No worries" is how many people respond to "I'm sorry" or "Excuse me."Guy 1: I'm sorry about that. Guy 2: No worries.Girl 1: Excuse me. Girl 2: No worries.
Do we deal witho uncountable nouns as we deal with singulars or plurals?
We deal with uncountable nouns as though they were singular nouns:- There IS too much ANGER (uncountable noun) in this room. - VIOLENCE (uncountable noun) IS never the answer.
None of ur business or non of ur business? Which one is correct and why ?
"None of your business" is right. "None" is a pronoun that means "not any." "Non" is a prefix that goes before other words: nonfat, nonfiction, nonprofit, etc.
"there was this one thing happened to me earlier today."
is this right?
"There was this one thing THAT happened to me earlier today." If you want simplicity, "Something (amazing) happened to me earlier today" would work better. You could replace "amazing" with the appropriate adjective (crazy, cool, funny, scary, etc.). ✌️
