so all i have to do is send you an email, and then you'll pick the winner? tell me more about the contest :) i'm so excited
It's pretty straightforward, really. We wrote that article to promote reading (because reading leads to so many positive results), and the "contest" isn't really a contest. It was meant to be an opportunity for people who don't have access to good books to get some free USED books from our collection. Free books. Free shipping.
For the winners, we'll throw in a few surprise gifts too. (I guess that's where the "contest" part comes in.)

is it "if i was" or "if i were"? because in beyonce's song, it says that "if i were a boy" but then in justin bieber's song, it's "if i was your boyfriend".
Beyoncé is right; the Biebs is wrong. Read this article: http://bit.ly/1pWL29H

Which of these phrases is grammatically correct? "You played good with him" "You played well with him" Thank you ^-^
"You played WELL with him."
"Good" is an adjective (good student, good cook, good friend, etc.) or a noun (He bought the goods); it is never an adverb, so it can't describe how you played.

What's the meaning and the difference between 'how could you say that to me" and "how dare you say that to me"?
They mean roughly the same thing, but "How could you say that to me?" shows that you're hurt:
"Jo, how could you say that to me? I thought we were best friends!"
"How dare you say that to me?" shows anger:
"How dare you say that to me?! Get out!"
"Jo, how could you say that to me? I thought we were best friends!"
"How dare you say that to me?" shows anger:
"How dare you say that to me?! Get out!"

which English have to be used in Indonesia, Southeast Asia? British, or American one?
We are fairly certain that you would be using British English. For example, look around and see if you use "colour," "favourite," "realise," "grey," and "aeroplane." If you do, you're using British spelling. We in America use "color," "favorite," "realize," "gray," and "airplane."
Keep in mind, however, that many countries use a combination of both. (And ultimately, it doesn't really matter, as long as you use it consistently, e.g., don't switch from "gray" to "grey" within the same essay.)

patient and patience?
"Patient" is an adjective (able to wait) or a noun (a person receiving medical treatment): The PATIENT was PATIENT as he waited for the doctor to arrive. (The plural of "patient" is "patients," which can sound a little like "patience"; however, they are completely different words.)
"Patience" is a noun only. It means "the ability to wait": Please show PATIENCE as you wait in the queue.

Is there any rules that we can use 'do' after 'she' or 'he'? Bc a lot of my friends use 'do' after those words
"She" and "he" are both singular, so they should both be used with "does" (or "doesn't"), not "do."
- DOES she think that I am her boyfriend? (Right)
- DO she think that I am her boyfriend? (Wrong)
- I don't think he DOES his homework. (Right)
- I don't think he DO he homework. (Wrong)
The only time when "she" or "he" can be used with "do" is with the subjunctive mood:
- It is NECESSARY THAT he DO his work on time.
- The teacher DEMANDED THAT Jo DO her assignment.
For more on the subjunctive mood, read this article: http://bit.ly/1pWL29H (Scroll down.)

i'm gonna write these on my bucket list: go to 1D concert, sing along with the directioners. are they grammatically correct?
"I'm GOING TO write these on my bucket list: to go to a 1D concert, and to sing along with the Directioners."
("Gonna" is OK if you're telling this to a friend. If you're writing it in a more formal setting, use "going to.")

how to be good at listening skill?
Focus. Take notes. Pay attention to key words such as "but" and "yet" (they indicate contrast), "and so" and "therefore" (they indicate explanations), and others. After listening, try to make a quick summary of you what you had just heard. And of course, practice.
Unfortunately, "practice" is the answer to almost every "How do I get better at (x)?" question.

I should not have done this or i should have not done this. Which one is correct? :)
"I should NOT have done this." Here's why:
"I shouldn't have done this." (Right) -- "shouldn't" = should not
"I should haven't done this." (Wrong) -- "haven't = have not
"I shouldn't have done this." (Right) -- "shouldn't" = should not
"I should haven't done this." (Wrong) -- "haven't = have not
it's should be 'messed up the picture' or 'messed the picture up' ?? thankyou
Both ways are common and accepted, but we prefer "We messed the picture up."
Our logic is that we don't say "We messed up it"; we say "We messed it up." In other words, we say "We messed (noun) up."
But you can easily avoid this messy situation by changing the words: "We DEFACED the picture." Problem solved.

how can i keep many words and never forget ? and how can i speak like native speakers ? plz answer my question .
To remember words for a long time (like forever), we recommend doing what this article suggests: http://bit.ly/1rINXnR
TL;DR Make mnemonics (memory devices). See the attached picture for the word "inexorable" (unstoppable).
To speak like a native person, practice. Watch a lot of TV, listen to podcasts (like "This American Life"), and pay attention to pronunciation and even the kind of idioms they use.
Good luck! ^_^

I curious about you. who are you? can I know you in person? :3
If you live in the Los Angeles area, we are planning several meet-ups this year. Plus, when the books come out, we'll have to do signings and other promotional activities. Stay tuned. ^_^
How many people behind this account used to answer the question?
Three. But we are also busy running a Twitter site, Tumblr site, Medium site, writing books, and doing other important projects.
To answer all the questions we get on ask.fm, Tumblr, and Twitter, we probably need about 15 people working 24 hours a day just answering questions. We have more than 3,000 unanswered questions just on Tumblr alone. Here, we have 883 right now.
We apologize if your questions don't get answered. Keep trying! ^_^

what's the difference between "because" and "because of" ?
"Because of" has to be followed by a noun phrase (or gerund):

- Because of MY CARELESSNESS, I made many mistakes on the exam. (noun)
- I am staying home because of THE STORM. (noun)
- We lost because of YOU. (noun)
"Because" is followed by a verb phrase:
- I am staying home because I DON'T LIKE TO WALK IN THE RAIN.
- Because I AM HUNGRY, I will make myself a sandwich.
- There is no food in the pantry because JO ATE EVERYTHING.
