fruit or fruits??

When we think of "fruit" as a group and in a non-specific way, then we use the word "fruit":
- You should eat five servings of fruit and vegetables every day.
- Fruit is a good source of vitamins.
- Would you like some fruit?
If you want to emphasize the different kinds of fruit, then you can use "fruits":
- My favorite fruits are apricots, nectarines, and peaches. 🍑
- Can you pick up exotic fruits such as mangoes and papayas from the market?
- Nan loves oranges and other citrus fruits. 🍊

There (is/ are) any money left. There (is/are) any tables left. Explain.

The first sentence should be "There is no money left" or "There isn't any money left." The second should be "There aren't any tables left" or "There are no tables left."
"Money" is a mass noun, so in the present tense, it will always require a singular verb (is). "Tables" is plural, so it requires "are" instead of "is."

Waiting you or waiting for you? And why?

"Waiting for you" is right. The phrase "waiting for" is a very common expression:
- We are waiting for Christmas. 🎅🎄
- Peter and Henry are waiting for the release of "Final Fantasy XV."
- Whom are you waiting for?
- She is waiting for the bus. 🚍

None of them (is /are) kind. Neither of them (is/are) kind

Whatever comes after "none of" determines whether we need a singular or plural verb:
- None of the cake (singular) IS (singular) edible.
- None of the boys (plural) ARE (plural) here.
- None of them (plural) ARE (plural) kind.
However, "neither of" is always singular:
- Neither of them IS kind.
- Neither of the boys IS sick.
- Neither of my answers WAS correct.

what is plural count noun and mass noun? thank u :)

A plural count noun is exactly what it sounds like: a noun that can be counted. An easy way to tell if a noun can is countable is by seeing if you can make it plural by adding -s. If you can, then it's a count noun. For example, dog(s), cat(s), book(s), teacher(s), etc. Some common exceptions to this include "man" (men), "child" (children), "woman" (women), and "person" (people, but "persons" is also OK).
Mass nouns are not countable. They are words like "air," "money," "stress," "homework," and "milk." For example, we cannot say "I drink a lot of milks" or "I have a lot of homeworks." Instead, we just use them in the singular form: "I drink a lot of milk" and "I have a lot of homework."
💁 BONUS: For countable nouns, we use "many" (many dogs, many teachers, many books, etc.); for mass nouns, we use "much" (too much stress, too much milk, too much homework, etc.).

Is reading novel is the best way to improve English and vocabulary.....or plz tell what should we have to do.......and is tenses are compulsory as a base of English should we learn them or not?

Reading is the best way, but it doesn't have to be novels. Check out this article that we wrote: http://bit.ly/2dHU0bg 👀
And yes, it is vital that you learn verb tenses. For that, we suggest Englishpage.com: http://bit.ly/2diSUHx
Good luck! 👍

What does "gotta" mean ? How to use it informally ?

- She's gotta turn in the essay by noon. (She has got to turn in the essay by noon.)
- He's gotta be kidding me. (He has got to be kidding me.)

Can you please tell me what is the difference between home and house?

Heeeff’s Profile PhotoHaifa
A "home" is the place where someone lives. It can be a house, but it can also be an apartment, a condo, a houseboat, etc.: "I can't wait to go home to my apartment in New York." ("Home" can also be used to mean "family": "She comes from a broken home.")
A "house" 🏠 is the building where someone lives. (It's different from an apartment because a house is a detached structure.) For example, "Jo's house has three bedrooms and a big yard."
In literature, movies, or TV shows that deal with ancient families, "house" can also refer to a lineage or noble family. For example, in the "Game of Thrones" world, we have House Lannister, House Stark, House Tyrell, etc.
Can you please tell me what is the difference between home and house

please tell me when we should use present simple tense and the reason :(

Use the simple present for an action that is repeated or usual. It can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event, or something that often happens.
- I EAT too much junk food. 🍫 (It is usual for me to eat a lot of junk food.)
- She SLEEPS really late. (It is usual for her to sleep very late.)
- My dog BARKS at my friends. (It is usual for my dog to bark at my friends.)
- I HAVE piano practice at noon. 🎹 (Piano practice is scheduled for noon.)

"I feels like to go out today" why we must put s for feel?

No. It should be "I feel like going out today." In the present tense, we add -s to only he, she, it, and singular nouns (but not I or you). Examples:
- Nan FEELS sick today.
- Peter LIKES to play video games. 🎮
- Henry READS a lot of books. 📚
- It RAINS often in Seattle. ☔️
- She KNOWS more about chemistry than I do. ⚗️

Is that normal If whenever I speak English in front of people I barely know I feel so nervous? I'm not confident, I feel like they'll judge me if I make any mistakes therefore, English is not our main language in my country. I feel so stupid and always seem make a fool myself :(

Yes, it's perfectly normal. Keep practicing to build up your confidence. No matter how good your English is, there will always be a few people who will judge you or not like what you say, so don't worry about them. (And jerks like them are much fewer than you think. Most people are actually nice and understanding.) 👍

I wonder why there are so many slang in English. Where do you guys got them from? I mean, How can I keeping up with them if English is not even my main language and I love learning English so much.

Even we native speakers can't keep up with all the slang. English is a fluid language; it is constantly changing. If you want to know what a certain slang word or phrase means, turn to urbandictionary.com. (⚠️ Warning: there are lots of vulgar and profane definitions, but that's because many slang words are vulgar and profane. 🙈🙊🙉)

In world today, there will be no tourism industry without the tourist itself. it is correct?

"In today's world, there would be no tourism industry without the tourist itself" or "In today's world, the tourism industry wouldn't exist without tourists."

how to asking some one where he study now for collage/which university he get for study?

- Where do you go to school? (The person you're asking would know that you're talking about college/university.)
- Which university do you attend?
- Where are your matriculating? (Only a few people would understand this.)
