what does the idiom "with bells and whistles" mean? and how to use it in a sentence? thanks! :)

"Bells and whistles" = extra, fancy add-ons and gadgets, e.g., That car will have all the bells and whistles that will raise the price by $20,000 from last year's model.

Senpai can you explain about I had no idea and I have no idea, either and neither, it confuse me a lot *sighs* thank you!

1. I had no idea. → past tense, e.g., I had no idea that yesterday was her birthday.
2. I have no idea. → present tense, e.g., I have no idea how "One Piece" is going to end.
For "either" and "neither," read this answer we gave earlier: http://ask.fm/The_YUNiversity/answer/127277521026

"Because of" has to be followed by a noun or gerund:
- Because of you, I have the confidence to succeed.
- Because of her help, I can solve this difficult problem.
- Our yard is green and healthy because of the rain.
- Nan couldn't study because of Henry's snoring. (In this sentence, "snoring" is a gerund, not a verb.)
"Because" has to be followed by a verb phrase (IN CAPS):
- Because I LOVE YOU, I will do the laundry.
- Because HE HAD OVERSLEPT, Peter was late to the important meeting.
- Henry likes to try out new cafes because HE LIKES COFFEE so much.

if someone go on vacation to an island is it 'in an island' or 'at an island'?

Here are two ways to express that idea:
- He vacationed ON an island.
- He went on vacation TO an island.

What does 'used to be' mean? How do we use it in a sentence?

It means that something was true in the past but is not true anymore:
- We used to be friends. (We were friends in the past, but we're not friends anymore.)
- They used to be good at basketball. (They were good at basketball in the past, but they're not good anymore.)

helo admins! I wonder if you have received a question regarding "mixing tenses in writing" before? If you guys haven't yet, I hope you make a confirmation so that I'll resend the question? I really need your opinions bcs I don't think references on the net are quite good enough to me, anyway tq!

We scrolled through our questions and didn't find it. Can you send it again?

Is -ed can be use after using -ing? Like "being played". I don't know why that thing is on my mind lately T_T. Oh and Bigbang is back (again and again) xD

Yes, e.g., They are being punished for their crimes. (This works only with "being.")
However, there are many adjectives that end in -ed and -ing: http://bit.ly/1ALw6VR
For example, "She is feeling tired" is not the same thing as what you're asking because it's -ing + adjective (not -ed verb).

How to use "yet" properly in a sentence?

"Yet" has numerous meanings, so consult a dictionary.
Here are some examples:
- I haven't finished my essay YET.
- The latest episode has YET to be uploaded.
- He was a tough YET fair boss.
- It was their most impressive performance YET.
- We were lost, YET we managed to find our way home.
