What's the different of stalk and stalker?

A "stalker" is a person who "stalks," e.g., The celebrity hired a team of bodyguards to protect her from the stalker. When he noticed their muscles and guns, he didn't stalk her anymore.
(A "stalk" is also the stem of a plant.) 🌱

This is actually quite helpful: http://www.wikihow.com/Understand-What-You-Read
Parts 1 and 2 are especially helpful. (Part 3 depends largely on what kind of friends and classmates you have.)

Want to make more friends? Try this: Tell us what you like and find people with the same interests. Try this: + add more interests + add your interests

When should I use 'deserve/deserved'? Like if my friend just won a competition, should I say, "You deserve it!" or "You deserved it!". Or if we just passed a qualifying exam, and we're going to celebrate, should I say "We deserved this little celebration." or should I use deserve?

If your friend already won, either "You deserve it" or "You deserved it" would be fine. For example, "I'm so happy for you. You totally deserve/deserved it!" (Both would be fine.)
However, if your friend hasn't won the trophy yet, you could say something like "Don't worry. You totally deserve it." In that instance, you couldn't say "You totally deserved it."

"what's gonna happened, happened" is this sentence correct?

If it already happened, "What was going to happen, happened."
If you're stating a general truth, "Whatever is going to happen will happen."

What does ‘I rest my case’ mean?

It means two things:
1. I am done presenting my argument. (This is used by a lawyer.)
2. You have proved that I what I just said is true. (This is how most people use it.) For example,
Nan: We should buy a new laptop.
Henry: Why? It still works. It's just slow and gets really hot when you use it.
Nan: Exactly! I rest my case.

what's the different of "smth of his" and "smth of him"? dont they refer to possession?

For possession, we should use "something of his / hers / yours / mine / ours / theirs," e.g., He is a friend of mine (which means the same thing as "He is my friend").
Idiomatically, we use "something of him / her / you / me / us / them" differently:
- They asked something of him. = They asked him for a favor.

It seems like a dumb question but i can't differenate between P.M and A.M, can you tell me the difference._. sorry if this sounds stupid .-.

Never apologize for not knowing something. That's what learning is for. ^^
AM = midnight to 11:59:59. (Midnight is also known as 12 AM.)
PM = noon to 23:59:59. (Noon is also known as 12 PM.)
For example, "Many people in America go to work from 9 AM to 5 PM."

How to use neither, either and nor?

We use EITHER ... OR when we want to refer to a choice between two possibilities:
- Nan feels like eating EITHER tacos OR ramen for lunch.
- Henry will EITHER wash his car OR write 100 test questions today.
- Peter will be EITHER skiing OR snowboarding when we see him later this afternoon.
We use NEITHER ... NOR when we want to say that two or more things are NOT true:
- NEITHER Henry NOR Peter feels like going to the gym today.
- We like NEITHER to study NOR to write papers on such a beautiful day.
- Nan wants to watch NEITHER the movies on Netflix NOR the videos on YouTube.
For the other usage of "nor," read this: http://tmblr.co/Z90tLy1WPvRGV

Why is it if im describing what i feel i have to say 'i'm bored' instead of 'i'm boring'? But when im describing someone i have to say 'she's annoying' but not 'she's annoyed'

It all comes down to what those words mean.
"Boring" and "bored" are both adjectives, but they mean different things.
"Boring" = not interesting, e.g., a boring book, a boring story, a boring movie.
"Bored" = the opposite of "excited," e.g., She's bored with reading the newspaper.
Similarly, "annoying" and "annoyed" are functioning as adjectives in your examples.
"Annoying" = something that makes you feel annoyed, e.g., What's that annoying noise? She's an annoying girl.
"Annoyed" = feeling annoyed, e.g., She's annoyed with my laziness. Be nice to my sister when she's annoyed.

I dont understand this quote. can you help me? "It's not that I'm rebelling. It's that I'm just trying to find another way." -E. Sedgwick. THANK YOU! :)

It basically means "I'm not trying to cause trouble; I'm just trying to figure out a different way of doing this."
If your teacher tells you to solve a math problem in a specific way, but you "disobey" her because you want to find an easier (or better) way to solve it, that quote would apply to your situation.
