"nobody loves me" or "nobody love me"?
"Nobody" is a singular pronoun, so "Nobody loves me" is correct.

'I haven't read for weeks.' or 'I hadn't read for weeks.'? 'I haven't written for days.' or 'I haven't written for days.'? Thank you.
"I haven't read for weeks" and "I haven't written for days" are right exactly as they are. We don't need any more information.
"I hadn't read for weeks" and "I hadn't written for days" can also be right, but we need more information:
- UNTIL YESTERDAY, I hadn't read for weeks.
- I hadn't written for days UNTIL I BOUGHT A NEW LAPTOP.
- BY THE TIME I BORROWED A NEW BOOK, I hadn't read for weeks.

Something like "I plan to end my movie marathon with this kind of complicated yet romantic movie." :-)
"These questions getting creepier day by day". is it correct? or i must use "this". Thanks.
"These questions ARE getting creepier day by day." (We use "these" because it's plural, and so is "questions.")
Another way to say the same thing is "These questions ARE getting creepier by the day."

Im still confused. If i want to describe a character i like the most in novel and i need to explain the reason. Do i have to use past tense for the story? Pls answer
If you're describing anything that happens in a book, movie, play, etc., use the present tense. It doesn't matter how old that work is.
For example,
- The protagonist of "Kung Fu Panda" IS Po, a panda who IS at first incredibly inept at fighting. His inability to fight WORRIES the members of the Furious Five, a legendary group of kung fu heroes ... In the end, Po DEFEATS the nefarious Tai Lung and SAVES the world.
Even though "Kung Fu Panda" was made seven years ago, we use the present tense to describe what happens in the movie. We call that the "literary present tense."

They have so many different definitions. They're both nouns and verbs. Your best bet is to consult a dictionary. Otherwise, this answer will be incredibly long.

What does Prerequisite mean? It is common to use this word? Thank you XOXO
A "prerequisite" is basically something that is required before you can do something else. It is often used to describe college courses.
For example,
- Econ 1A is a prerequisite for Econ 100. (This means that you have to take Econ 1A before you can take Econ 100.)
- Psych 26A is a prerequisite for Psych 26B.
- Scoring at least 2000 on the SAT exam is a prerequisite for admission into the university.
- Water is the most important prerequisite for life.
And yes, this word is used fairly commonly.

whats the difference between somehow and somewhat? can i interchange them?
No.
"Somehow" = in some way; for some unspecified reason:
- Even after spending hundreds of millions of pounds, Manchester United somehow lost to Swansea City twice.
- The hero somehow managed to defeat the dragon, the vampire, the werewolf, the ghoul, and the titan.
- Your offer doesn't seem fair somehow.
"Somewhat" = to a small degree or extent:
- I'm somewhat hungry, but not enough to make myself a sandwich.
- The movie was somewhat interesting, but I'm not going to watch it again.
- Your argument is somewhat persuasive, but my answer is still no.

is it "i can never thank you enough" or "i can never thanks you enough" ?
After CAN and CAN'T, always use the base form (bare infinitive) of the verb. Therefore, "I can never THANK you enough" is right. ("Thank" is the base form.)
- She CAN never THANK you enough.
- We CAN never THANK you enough.
- They CAN never THANK you enough.
- She CAN never THANK you enough.
- We CAN never THANK you enough.
- They CAN never THANK you enough.

difference between 'yourself' and 'yourselves' ?
"Yourself" is for the singular "you":
- Hey, Peter: Did you make this cake all by yourself?
"Yourselves" is for the plural "you" (i.e., "you guys"):
- Hey, Nan and Henry: Did you finish writing six chapters all by yourselves?
- Hey, Peter: Did you make this cake all by yourself?
"Yourselves" is for the plural "you" (i.e., "you guys"):
- Hey, Nan and Henry: Did you finish writing six chapters all by yourselves?
Difference of 'Duly' and 'Unduly'?

- The punishment for chewing gum was unduly harsh.

Is there any specific rules of using 'don't' after 'she'? Because ive seen a lot of ppl and i also heard many of songs say 'she dont' instead of 'she doesnt'
All of those examples you heard were slang/informal/dialectical. For example, "She don't know me!" "She don't go to school."
In formal English, it has to be "she doesn't."
Our advice is to never trust the grammar in pop songs. This doesn't mean that everything you hear is wrong, but you should never rely on them. Always check if something just doesn't sound right.
After all, the purpose of pop songs is not to show the proper use of grammar. That's probably the last thing most songwriters care about.

how do you use does and do ?
Use DOES with he, she, it, and singular nouns:
- Does Nan drink tea?
- Does Peter like sushi?
- Does your dog bark at strangers?
Use DO with I, you, we, they, and plural nouns:
- Do Henry and Peter like to exercise?
- Do you know where Nan is right now?
- They do their work on time.
Both are present tense; DID is the past tense.
- Does Nan drink tea?

What's the difference between somebody and someone?
They mean exactly the same thing.
The only difference is in how they're used in idioms. For example, "I baked these cookies for a special SOMEONE" is right, but "I baked these cookies for a special SOMEBODY" is wrong.
Similarly, "I want to be a SOMEBODY!" is right, but "I want to be a SOMEONE!" is wrong.

such a good lyrics or such a good lyric. which one is correct?
"Lyrics" are a set of words that make up a song, so "good lyrics" is right:
- Henry loves the lyrics in the chorus of "Famous Last Words" by My Chemical Romance.
- Some songs have amazing lyrics but don't sound good; other songs sound good but have terrible lyrics.
- Peter asked Henry, "Does that song have good lyrics?"
