could you explain about lie (to tell the untruth) and lie (to place something in a certain place) and lay (like lay down)? I'm confused to death hahaha

"Lie" (to tell an untruth) → "lied" (past tense) → Has, have, had "lied":
- I lied to you yesterday about not having any money.
- She has lied to her friends about her grades all year long.
- Until last week, he had lied about his childhood.
That part is pretty straightforward. It works like any other verb. But when it comes to the other "lie" (to be in a horizontal position), it becomes confusing.
"Lie" → "lay" (past tense) → Has, have, had "lain":
- Nan lay in bed all day yesterday.
- By the time he realized he had a sunburn, Peter had lain on the beach for six hours.
- Henry has lain on the sofa since noon.
I won't even get into "lie" vs. "lay," but if you want to know about that, read this: http://bit.ly/1lxFFtj

How to use 'way'? like 'i like her way too much'

You got it right. However, using "way" as an adverb (the way you did) is considered INFORMAL. Use it in conversations with friends, text messages, and tweets, but avoid using it in formal writing.
Here are some more examples of how you might use "way" in informal contexts:
- I am way too sick to go to the party.
- He was driving way too fast.
- There were way too many typos.

"If you're dreams aren't scaring you, they're not big enough." is this correct? Thankyou:)

"If YOUR dreams aren't scaring you, they're not big enough" is right.

I dont talk with my friends or my family in english but i always tweet or text my friends in english so... is this helps to improve my grammar and speaking skill?

Yes, every little bit helps ... as long as you are using proper grammar and spelling. We (Henry, Nan, and Peter) always use proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar in our text messages and emails to one another. It comes from habit. (It's a great habit to have if you want to improve your English.)

Difference between in and within?

"In" is very broad and can be used in all sorts of situations:
- I am IN trouble.
- Nan lives IN California.
- Peter is standing IN line; he's next IN the queue.
- IN which country is Berkeley?
"Within" is the tricky word. It is used to show that something or someone is "inside the boundaries or limits":
- When you color the drawing, you must stay WITHIN the lines.
- Smoking in public is illegal WITHIN the city limits.
- There was tension WITHIN the boy group, so one of its members decided to leave.

the difference between "praise to be God" and "praise to the Lord " ?

The expressions are "Praise BE TO God" and "Praise the Lord." They mean the same thing (but "Praise be to God" is old-fashioned and formal).
Nan: The surgery went well. She's going to be fine!
Henry: Praise the Lord!

What is the right one. Engineer stuff or engineer's stuff?

If the stuff belongs to an engineer, it would be "the engineer's stuff," e.g., The engineer's stuff was all over the floor of his lab.
If it's just stuff related to engineers or engineering, either "engineer stuff" or "engineering stuff" is fine, e.g., Where can I find the engineer stuff/engineering stuff on your website?

How many times the word "of" can be used in a sentence? I have seen some examples that used more than two "of"s, but I can't remember any of them.

As many times as you want (as long as it's grammatical):
"The only course OF action that we could think OF involved using the fins OF dolphins to destroy the base OF operations OF the United States OF America."
That's not the best sentence in the world, and we only wrote it that way to prove a point. (We would replace "of x" with "x's" in a few places.) However, you can get an idea of how often "of" can be used in a sentence.

Can u give me more words which after them we have to use the base(?) infinitive? Besides of does,do,did,could,would

Besides the ones you mentioned, there are also MUST (must not), SHOULD (should not), CAN (cannot), SHALL (shall not), MAY (may not), WILL (will not), MIGHT (might not), MAY (may not):
- She MUST GET a perfect score on today's exam!
- Nan CAN SING better than your cat.
- Peter MAY NOT EAT anything before his blood test.
- Henry and Peter WILL BRING snacks to the party.
- She MIGHT NOT ARRIVE on time.
And so forth. ^^

'being swayed by that person' can you tell me what this sentence means?

It means that your mind is being changed by what that person is saying or doing.
Nan: I like A more than B.
Henry: Did you know that B is full of nutrients, vitamins, and can make your skin smooth and soft? Many celebrities use it: Taylor Swift, Taeyeon, Jennifer Lawrence.
Nan: I am being swayed by your examples. Tell me more about B.

my friend said 'go eat', i replied 'im not hungry' and he replied 'either me/neither me'. does his reply right? if it is right, what does it means?

It should be "Me neither": http://tmblr.co/Z90tLy1HcAzFh
"Me neither" = Neither am I = I'm not either. In your example, when he said, "Me neither," he meant "I'm not hungry either" (or "I am also not hungry").

do every time we use 'i had', we must use past participle? how about "i had/have to choose this picture because this is the only perfect picture"

No, you don't have to always use a past participle; you can also use an infinitive (e.g., to choose):
- I wasn't home because I had TO TALK with my teacher after school.
- I couldn't go to the party because I had TO STUDY.
- I didn't call you because I had TO FINISH my essay.
- I had TO CHOOSE this picture because this was the only perfect one I could find.

"Why you are so obsess WITH me?" it is correct to use WITH there?

Yes. (By the way, it should be "Why are you so OBSESSED with me?") ^^

'I've tried to....." means i have to do something or i have done it before?

It means you have tried to do something already, e.g., I've tried to quit eating fast food, but it's too hard.
