i lost him "to" a car accident. hm, why do you use "to" instead of "in" ??

Both "to" and "in" would work in that example.
However, we would say "I lost him TO lung cancer," not "I lost him IN lung cancer." ("Lost someone to something" is an idiomatic expression, even a humorous one, e.g., Nan lost Henry to "One Piece.")

would you mind to give me examples of restrictive and non-restrictive sentences? thank you..

Restrictive:
- Video games that demean women should be banned. (Only the ones that demean women should be banned.)
- The students who cheated on the test should be punished. (Only the ones who cheated on the test should be punished.)
Non-restrictive:
- Video games, which demean women, should be banned. (All video games should be banned.)
- The students, who cheated on the test, should be punished. (All the students should be punished.)
In non-restrictive sentences, look for a non-restrictive modifying clause (e.g., which demean women, who cheated on the test) set off by commas.

Plural form of 'kid' is 'children' right? So what 'kids' mean? cmiiw

The plural of "child" is "children."
The plural of "kid" is "kids."
^^

"If they're nice then he would be fine, but they weren't." Is it correct? Please help, I have to make a dialogue and I'm afraid if I make a mistake! Thank you very much!

This sounds the most natural to us as dialogue: "If they were nice, he would be fine. Unfortunately, they aren't." ^^

'I LOST him to a car accident' or ' I LOSE him to a car accident?'

"I LOST him to a car accident," since it has already happened.

hi kpopers :p do you have some tips to improve my reading skill ?

Sure.
1. Read slowly at first. If you come across hard words that make it impossible for you to understand what you're reading, write them down and look them up in a dictionary. As you get better, read more quickly.
2. Write down a short summary (a couple of sentences at most) after every two or three pages. This will force you to pay attention as you read, because if you don't, you won't be able to write a summary.
3. The most important tip: Do #1 and #2 EVERY SINGLE DAY. The best readers are the readers who read A LOT.
Good luck. ^^

Cool,so i can still use "Can" when talking to my friends?

Sure.
Nan: Henry, can you buy me some coffee today?
Henry: You got it. (⌒ ͜ʖ⌒)-b

Thought on or Thought about

In "thought on," "thought" is a noun (it means "idea"), e.g., What is your thought (or thoughts) on global warming?
In "thought about," "thought" is a verb (the past tense of "think"), e.g., Yesterday, Nan thought about going to the beach.

Could you please explain me about would/will, should/shall, could/can,etc? (((I'm not sure i'm using the right one in the first sentence,correct me if i'm wrong))) thank you so much

You used "could" correctly. (In asking questions, "Could" is considered the more polite way of saying "can.")
What you are asking about are modals. Here is an EXCELLENT explanation of all the modals: http://bit.ly/1aReDzM ^^

me being lazy or my being lazy?

Technically, "MY being lazy" is correct, because "being" is functioning as a gerund.
Read more about it here: tmblr.co/Z90tLy1TnRyim
However, very few people care (or even know) about this distinction, so it doesn't really matter. Even if you get it right, many people won't know what you're doing.

Can you guys explain how to use the word 'withal'?

"Withal" is an archaic word that means "in addition" or "nevertheless":
- Henry's dog is friendly, playful, and clever withal. ("Withal" means "in addition.")
- The movie was entertaining, but it felt very long withal. ("Withal" means "nevertheless.")
"Withal" is a word that you rarely find in modern writing; if you come across it, it is most likely in literature.
