Hi, I just watched a movie. There's this "tale of woe" that I don't understand. What does it means?
"Woe" = great sorrow or distress. Therefore, a "tale of woe" would be a really sad or depressing story.

"Sizes those fit my hands are better than larger ones" is there any grammatical errors?
"Sizes THAT fit my hands are better than larger ones" is better. ("Sizes that fit my hands are better than those that don't" is what a native speaker would say.) ✌️

Which one is the correct answer for "Have you eaten?" 1.) I have eaten. 2.) I have had eaten. 3.) I have ate. And please states the reason . Thx! :>
The easiest and best answer is simply "Yes, I have." It's the same thing as "Yes, I have eaten," but it's less repetitive. Similarly, if the answer is no, "No, I haven't" is the best answer.
"I have had eaten" and "I have ate" are wrong.
"I have had eaten" and "I have ate" are wrong.

she loves cats or she loves the cats
If she loves all kinds of cats, "She loves cats" is fine. If you are talking about specific cats, you would need to say or write something like "She loves THE cats that are playing with the puppy."

there are too many people or there is too many people
We use "many" for countable nouns, and since "people" is plural, it should be "There ARE too many people." Similarly, we would say "There ARE too many doughnuts." 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩

how do we construct a sentence using "thesis defense"? should we add "to be" before it or how? my friend thesis defense tomorrow. is it right?
A "thesis defense" is a noun, so any of these would work:
- I hope that my friend does well on his thesis defense tomorrow.
- My friend is nervous about his thesis defense.
- My friend is prepared for his thesis defense.
- I hope that my friend does well on his thesis defense tomorrow.
- My friend is nervous about his thesis defense.
- My friend is prepared for his thesis defense.

hello! which action happened first in this sentence: "i stood under a tree when it began to rain." thanks!
"I had been standing under a tree when it began to rain" sounds much better. But in both examples, you were under a tree first and then it began to rain. ✌️

'My ex were very angry' or 'was' im still confused as to what I should use.
"My ex was very angry" is right. "My ex" is singular, so it requires "was." (In the simple past tense, "were" is for "you" and plural nouns.) ✌️

kak pas aku mau daftarin kartu starbucks ada "zip code" nya gitu. itu gimana kak nulisnya?
Hmmm ... the only words we understood are "Starbucks" and "ZIP code." In America, we use a ZIP code to talk about a very specific location (neighborhood, community). The most famous ZIP code is 90210 (Beverly Hills, CA), which was made famous by the popular '90s TV show. 😎
which sentence is correct."i had forget her yesterday" or "i had forgot her yesterday" .And could u explain it why?
The past participle of "forget" is "forgot" or "forgotten," so "I had forget her yesterday" is wrong. "I forgot about her yesterday" is what native English speakers would say. ✌️
john was born into the well-to-do massachusetts family un 1917 this is correct ?
"John was born into a well-to-do Massachusetts family in 1917." (If the previous sentences mentioned a specific well-to-do Massachusetts family, then "John was born into THE well-to-do Massachusetts family" is better.) For example, if you were talking about John F. Kennedy, "the" would work better. ✌️
what is the difference between 'save' and 'safe'?
"Save" is a verb (I want to SAVE money) or a noun (The goalkeeper made a fantastic SAVE). "Safe" is an adjective (He is a SAFE driver) or a noun (We keep our money and jewelry in a SAFE).

is it true that " i wish i was " for something that might happen? example: i wish i was at school right now ( the fact is i'm not at school because it's weekend ) and " i wish i were " for something that is almost impossible to happen? example: i wish i were a girl ( the fact is i'm a boy) thank you
No. They should both be "I wish I were." Here is a simple explanation of the subjunctive "were": http://bit.ly/1GKPsHg ✌️

hi, i just wanna know, what can i do in order to improve my english
1. Read A LOT. Read often. Pay very close attention to how sentences are written. Write down and look up words you don't understand. Use those words in sentences.
2. Read translated manga and English comic books for dialogue, idioms, and vocabulary words. Learn how English-speakers talk to each other. Try reading out loud.
3. Write every day. (Here are some tips: http://bit.ly/1rOMbVx)
4. Use Google to answer questions you have. If that's too much work or too confusing, then follow us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/The_YUNiversity) or look at our A-Z archive with explanations to common questions: http://theyuniversityarchive.tumblr.com
5. Listen to English-speaking songs. (Do not listen to rap to improve your speaking skills; rap music is great for slang and vocabulary, but it generally has atrocious grammar.)
6. Watch English-speaking movies and TV shows. Start with easy shows (cartoons) and work up to more sophisticated ones.
8. Practice. Practice. Practice.
Good luck! (⌒ ͜ʖ⌒)-b

"Privacy has become a rare thing nowadays" is it true?
It is both true and grammatically correct. ✌️
Glad you liked it or glad you like it?
It depends on what you're talking about. If someone LIKED something in the past, you would say "I'm glad you LIKED it." If someone likes something right now, you'd say "I'm glad you LIKE it."
