(After DOES, DOESN'T, DO, and DON'T, use the base form of the verb) can you explain more about it? i dont get it.

Sure. The base form of the verb is the bare infinitive. Look at the following:
- She doesn't LIKE to eat vegetables. (Not "likes.") ("Like" is the bare infinitive of the verb.)
- Henry didn't FINISH his assignment on time. (Not "finished" or "finishes.") ("Finish" is the bare infinitive of the verb.)
- Does Peter DRINK coffee? (Not "drinks.") ("Drink" is the bare infinitive of the verb.)
In other words, after DOES, DOESN'T, DO, DON'T, DID, and DIDN'T, do not conjugate (change the form) of the verb.
Here are two more examples:
- Don't they ENJOY doing their homework?
- Nan doesn't KNOW that it's going to rain tomorrow.

i found this lil kid behind of my house. is it correct?

"I found this little kid behind my house" or "I found this little kid at the back of my house" would be correct.
"Lil" (or "Li'l") is an informal abbreviation of "little."

(Sorry for the confusion.)

[pahr-TIK-yoo-luhr-lee]
- Nan is particularly fond of fish tacos.

what the meaning of "tho"? people usually use that word at the end of sentence, and I still dont get what that meaning of, can you explain it? Thankyou.

"Tho" is an informal abbreviation of "though." You should NEVER use it in essays or assignments for school.
Nan: Let's go home!
Henry: I'm hungry tho.
Nan: That doughnut costs too much.
Henry: It looks delicious tho. Let's get it.
Again, DO NOT use it in formal writing.

"Champion" = singular: I am the champion!

"Champion" can also be a verb that means "to support" or "defend." In that case,
"Champion" = present tense for I, you, we, they, and plural nouns:
- We will champion their cause with both physical and financial assistance.
"Champions" = present tense for he, she, it, and singular nouns:
- Nan champions many causes that assist underprivileged children.

Hi. What's the meaning of "Trendspotting"?

It's a blend of "trend" + "spotting," and it literally means "the identification of new trends," e.g., The high school student, who has an obvious talent for trendspotting, was hired by the company to assist the marketing director.

how can we differentiate between past tense, past continuous tense, perfect tense, perfect continuous tense, and future perfect continuous tense? when are we using those tenses?

😱 It would take hours to explain everything.
Fortunately, this site does an excellent job at explaining verb tenses: http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/verbtenseintro.html
Bookmark the site and carefully go through all the links.

How i decide if the speaker native or non-native ?

You can usually tell if someone is a native English-speaker by two things:
1. Accent: a non-native speaker, no matter how good their grammar is, will sound different. An example would be listening to Amber from f(x) or Tiffany from Girls' Generation speak English (they're native speakers) and comparing it to someone like Siwon Choi from SuJu or G-DRAGON (non-native speakers).
2. Diction (word choice): a native speaker is much more likely to be comfortable using idioms, slang, and jargon/vernacular. A non-native speaker is more likely to speak formal English, which might be out of place in casual, friendly conversations.
For example,
Henry: Hey, what's going down? (Slang for "How are you?" or "What's up?")
Non-native English-speaking friend: Pardon me? I don't understand. Nothing is going down.
(That's obviously an extreme example.) ✌️

Could you please tell me which one is correct between "When will this busy time end?" or "When will this busy time ends?" and why? thank you! ^^

"When will this busy time end?" is right. After "will" and "won't" (will not), use the base form of the verb:
- When will she call? (Not "calls.")
- At what time will Peter arrive? (Not "arrives.")
- Why won't she listen to my advice? (Not "listens.")

what does "DIY" mean?

DIY = Do It Yourself.
It refers to any project that you do yourself (instead of paying someone else to do it). For example, a DIY tire repair kit would allow you to fix your tire at home, instead of taking your car to a service station or a tire center and paying someone to fix it.
