when to use "it has been" and "its/it's been"

"It has been" = "it's been." ("Its been" is wrong.)
- It has been (It's been) six months since we last talked.
- Since last week, it has been (it's been) cold and windy.

what the difference between realize and realise? i just googled up but still cant understand. thanks :)

They're the same word. "Realize" is the American spelling; "realise" is the British spelling.

What is the meaning of 's after a word?? I mean, like "wendy's"

It could mean two things:
POSSESSION (BELONGING TO X):
- It's Wendy's dog. (It's a dog that belongs to Wendy.)
- Wendy's shirt looks cute. (The shirt that belongs to Wendy looks cute.)
ABBREVIATION OF "IS" OR "HAS":
- Wendy's going to the beach. (Wendy is going to the beach.)
- Wendy's been absent for a week. (Wendy has been absent for a week.)

To whom It may concerns -meaning?

"To whom it may concern" (not "concerns") is an opening greeting we use in a letter or email when we don't know the name of the person that we want to contact. It's similar in usage to "Dear Sir or Madam."
If we knew the name of the person we wanted to contact, we would use "Dear Mr. Smith," "Dear Dr. Lee," etc.

when should i use "am", "I'm" confuses me a lot. Am fine? or I'm fine?

"I'm" = I am. We use "am" ONLY with "I"; it is a present tense verb.
- You am sick. → ❌
- I am sick yesterday. → ❌
- I am sick right now. → ✔
- I'm sick today. → ✔

Hi. I'm a little bit confused about "God". "God bless you" (God) is singular and (bless) is plural. How can that be happened? But, we also say; "God knows what best for us" Both God & knows are singular. So this makes sense. Aftter the word "God", do we use the singular or plural verb? Thanks

It's because it's a shortened version of the blessing "May God bless you."

what's different between window shopping and strolling around? pls:)

Strolling around can be done anywhere: at a park, around the neighborhood, at the mall, etc. Window shopping is done only at stores (or places where things are sold). For example, you wouldn't be "window shopping" at the library or the beach.

travelling / traveling?

They're the same word, and they're both right. In America, we prefer "traveling." Just about everywhere else, people prefer "travelling."

What is the difference between lose and loss?

"Lose" is a verb: I don't want to lose my lucky pen. "Loss" is a noun: Our team suffered a humiliating loss during the basketball tournament.

I've saw an article in WallStreet Journal and it said there's no proper english?

If that were true, it would make standardized grammar tests and writing assignments impossible. The article probably was making the point that there are so many variations of "proper" English, that it's impossible to say which one is "right" or even "best."

why we use "he" , "his " and "him " for God?

Many (if not most) religions believe in an almighty male god, so they use masculine pronouns to describe him.

Im actually confused with what tense of verb must be used after the word "had" (e.g had cooked/cook?)

After "had," use the past participle, e.g., had cooked, had eaten, had finished, had taken. Not all past participles end in -ed. For example, "had run," "had won," "had gone," and so forth.

"Are you free on 15 March?" Is it correct ? thank you for answer :)

That is correct wherever British English is used. "Are you free on March 15?" is how we would express it in America. ✌️
