so, you would be working tomorrow is wrong? would can be used to make the sentence sounds softer?
It could be right if the sentence was like this: "So, if Joan called in sick, you would be working tomorrow." (You have to give the condition in which something WOULD be true.) Here's another example: If I wanted to make money, I WOULD go to work tomorrow. ^^
hai! i want to ask you whats the meaning of 'douchebag' could u explain it to me thankyou;) have a great day!

That's not even a legitimate word, but we'll play along. It probably means "having the biggest smile" or "smiling the most." Someone made it up. It's like saying "dancingest" or "laughingest."
"I believe in the saying 'NO COMPETITION, NO PROGRESS.'" Is this correct? :)
Yes. ^^
What is the difference between this and these ?
"This" is singular: This is terrible! This is the best song ever! This cat smells."These" is plural: These are the worst apples I've ever eaten. These are the best songs ever! These cats smell.

"Maria is intelligent, BUT she is not active in class." What is BUT? Conjunction, interjection, preposition?
In that example, it's a conjunction. More specifically, it's a COORDINATING CONJUNCTION that connects two independent clauses (complete sentences).You can read more about coordinating conjunctions (aka "FANBOYS") here: http://tmblr.co/Z90tLy1hnXT9o ^^
What the difference of would and will? And give me an example
"I am a fond parent to every child of my fancy..." What does fancy means in this sentence? :)

"The boys must have a toys" , is it right?
"Toys" is plural, so "The boys must have toys" is right. ("A toys" is always wrong.)
which is more accurate synonym of 'inquisitive', curious or questioning?
That's tough to say, since it means both. A child who keeps asking, "Why?" is inquisitive (curious), but so is the journalist who asks tough questions during interviews.
What is the proper way of using "avowal" or "avow" in a sentence? And if it's okay with you, could you give me some sample sentences? Thank you! (By the way, is my sentence correct? :)
1. Your question was correctly stated. ^^2. "Avowal" is a noun: - Nan's impassioned avowals against sexism and hatred inspired her listeners. - The Pledge of Allegiance is an avowal that most Americans know by heart.3. "Avow" is a verb: - Henry avowed that he is a strong advocate of students' rights. - Peter avowed to his friends and family that he will exercise more, eat less junk food, and go to bed earlier.
It depends on when her death happened. If it happened a long time ago: "Her death WAS my fault." If it just happened, "Her death is my fault."But to be honest, both are bad. "I was responsible for her death" (past) and "I am responsible for her death" (present) are better. ^^
So, how do we use "in the effort of"? My teacher asked us to make examples using "in the effort of" but I have no idea how to. Could you explain it to me? Thank you.
We respectfully disagree with your teacher's advice. There is no reason to ever use "in the effort of" or "in the effort to."If your teacher absolutely insists on it, here's an example: We study grammar in *an effort to* improve our English skills.Here's another: The amount of work involved *in the effort of* making healthy snacks is too much.Even though it's not on this list, look at all the inflated phrases you should avoid using. Use the concise versions. ^^
"Have" is the present tense form for I, you, we, they, and plural nouns:- We have too much homework. - I have a meeting today at 2:30."Has" is the present tense form for she, he, it, and singular nouns:- She has many friends named Erin. - Peter has already read the latest translated chapter of "Tokyo Ghoul:re."
Difference between "where" and "in which"? Are they interchangeable?
They mean the same thing, but they are not always interchangeable:- This is where I live. ≠ This is in which I live. ("This is the house in which I live" would be right, but it sounds overly formal.)
