how to use the word "ain't"?
Here you go.
In your answer, it was "could you give me some recommended books?". Why was it "could"? What happened to a simple "can"? (And please correct my sentences if there's anything wrong :))
"Can" is also OK, but "could" is more polite.

Whats THINGY means?
It's an informal/slang word for "any object that you don't know—or forgot—the name for":
- Did you bring that THINGY that charges the phone?
- What do you call that plastic THINGY that holds a six-pack of soda cans together?
- Don't forget to buy that THINGY that keeps all the fireplace tools together.
(It's another word for "thingamajig.")

which is correct "miami never gets me wrong" or "miami never gone wrong"? please help
What are you trying to say? "Miami never gone wrong" is definitely wrong.
"Miami never gets me wrong" sounds awkward, but it could mean that "Miami always treats me right."

"Do you have any recommended book?" or "Do you have any recommended books?"
This would be better than both of those: "Could you recommend some good books?"

Do we use past tense after 'wish'? Why?
It's because of the subjunctive mood, in which "wish" is followed by a past tense verb:
- Nan wishes it WOULD snow in Los Angeles.
- Peter wishes bitcoin values WOULD increase.
- Henry wishes he WERE better at playing the piano.
- I wish I HAD STUDIED last night instead of watching cat videos on YouTube.
- Peter wishes he KNEW which stocks to buy.
- Henry wishes he HAD LEARNED how to program when he was in college.

Is "ain't I?" Correct?
Only in slang and in informal writing. "Ain't" is NEVER appropriate in formal writing, e.g., essays or papers for school.
"I loved it" or "i love it"
It depends:
- I loved it yesterday when it rained. (We use "loved" because "yesterday" is in the past.)
- When I visited Tokyo last summer, I loved it. (We use "loved" because "last summer" is in the past.)
- I love it when it rains. (We use "love" because we always love it when it rains, i.e., it was not only in the past.)
- Can you scratch my back again? I love it. (We use "love" because it's not only in the past; it's a habitual, regular, consistent thing.)

Is it correct "i wish i could turn back time" ?
Yes.
what is the different between although and eventhough?

Is aren't i correct?
"Aren't I?" is acceptable in informal language, but many grammar experts and teachers will say that it's not grammatical because "Aren't I" is like saying "I aren't."
Unfortunately, the correct way of saying it is "Am I not?" It sounds ridiculously formal.
Therefore, use "Aren't I?" and don't worry about it. Grammar has rules, but it also is flexible enough to change over time.

What is "tho" means?
It's an informal abbreviation of "though."
pictures lie or picture lies? help me pls
It depends on how many pictures you're talking about:
- This picture lies. (One picture.)
- These pictures lie. (More than one picture.)
But idiomatically, we say "Pictures lie." We don't say "Picture lies."
- This picture lies. (One picture.)
- These pictures lie. (More than one picture.)

"Westlife is from Europe" or "Westlife are from Europe"? thanks
In American English, we would say "Westlife IS from Europe" because we treat "Westlife" as a singular noun.
In British English, you would say "Westlife ARE from Europe" because Westlife had five members.
