Either A) or B) can work, but "array" is better because it's more positive than "range." (An "array" is an impressive display or range of a particular type of thing.)

Which one is true? "We serve with love" or "we served with love" or "we serving with love". Thank you💕💕
"We serving with love" is always wrong.
"We serve with love" is right if we always serve with love. "We served with love" is right if it happened in the past but is not true anymore. For example, "We served with love back then, but I'm sad that our group is full of only selfish people now."

What's the difference between 'a' and 'the' ?

Is the G pronounced at the end of the word? 😓
If the word ends with -ng (e.g., king, sing, long, strong, dancing), then no. If it's not, then yes (e.g., big, fig, pig, log, fog, bag, frog).
For example, BIGBANG is pronounced [bigG-bang]. The "g" sound is pronounced at the end of "big" but not "bang." If this is confusing, go to an online dictionary like Dictionary.com and listen to the pronunciation. 👂

Hello may I ask if this slogan is true: "Get your real to wake your dream" ? Or the 'real' should be replaced by reality, realness, or truth?
It depends on what the slogan is trying to say. For example, "Get real to awaken your dream" = You need to become genuine to awaken your dream, but "Get your truth to awaken your dream" = Make your truth awaken your dream. The first one is telling the person to do it; the second one is telling the person to make something else do it.
Since we didn't come up with the slogan, we're not sure what they meant.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hi. We just answered this question. Here's our tip: http://ask.fm/The_YUNiversity/answers/139965765762 👌
Please fix my grammar "when i was 3th grade, i moved to the other school" thank you.😊
"When I was in the third grade, I moved to a new school" or "When I was in the third grade, I changed schools."
What's the difference between "I have done ..." and "I had done ..." ? Please clarify.
EnglishPage.com does an excellent job of explaining verb tenses.
🔴 "Have done" = present perfect tense: http://bit.ly/SfhQiW

Hi i really want to improve my vocabulary how could i do?😥 (Im from non-english speaking country)
Hi. We highly recommend that you read this article that we wrote: http://bit.ly/2dpLQbt
Quick summary: we met a student from a non-English-speaking country who had an excellent vocabulary. His secret? He learned dozens of difficult words by playing "Diablo 3" (a video game). Other sources of great words include manga, comic books, novels, song lyrics, anime subtitles. In other words, whenever you come across a difficult word, write it down, look up what it means, and then start using that word regularly. You can learn lots of words while having fun. 👌

please explain to me about passive voice thanks
In passive voice, the recipient or target of the action gets promoted to the subject position.
We can recognize passive-voice expressions because the verb phrase will often (but not always) include a form of “be,” such as am, is, was, were, are, or been. Another way to recognize passive-voice sentences is that they may include a “by (someone or something)” phrase after the verb:
- Nine doughnuts were eaten by John this morning. 🍩
- The 25-page essay was finished by me last night.
- I was greeted by the Doctor.
In the active voice, the above examples would be written thus:
- John (the subject) ate nine doughnuts this morning.
- I (the subject) finished the 25-page essay last night.
- The Doctor (the subject) greeted me.

Please use vis a vis in a sentence
"Vis-a-vis" means "face to face with," "compared to," or "facing":
- We sat vis-a-vis (face-to-face) during the interview.
- The cost of the book wasn't too high vis-a-vis (compared to) the cost of a bottle of Coke.
- They were now vis-a-vis (facing) the most famous painting in the entire museum.
- We sat vis-a-vis (face-to-face) during the interview.
- The cost of the book wasn't too high vis-a-vis (compared to) the cost of a bottle of Coke.
- They were now vis-a-vis (facing) the most famous painting in the entire museum.
Are despite and in spite of similar in meaning and its usage ?
Yes. Both of them have to be followed by a NOUN PHRASE:
- Despite THE RAIN, I went for a jog.
- In spite of THE RAIN, I went for a jog.
- Despite THE BAD REVIEWS, we went to watch the horror movie.
- In spite of THE BAD REVIEWS, we went to watch the horror movie.
- Despite THE RAIN, I went for a jog.
- In spite of THE RAIN, I went for a jog.
- Despite THE BAD REVIEWS, we went to watch the horror movie.

I help my sister CLEAN her bedroom. 🙆 •Is this sentence correct ? •Could you please enlighten why it's supposed to be CLEAN instead of CLEANS ?
Yes, it is correct. Think of it this way: "I help my sister CLEAN here bedroom" = "I help my sister TO CLEAN (not "to cleans") her bedroom."
Similarly, "I help her (to) succeed" is right; "I help her succeeds" is wrong.
Similarly, "I help her (to) succeed" is right; "I help her succeeds" is wrong.
She doesnt want or she doesnt wants ????
"She doesn't want." After DO, DON'T, DOES, DOESN'T, DID, and DIDN'T, always use the base form (bare infinitive) of the verb:
- He doesn't WANT to study.
- She doesn't LIKE to eat vegetables.
- Peter doesn't SING or DANCE.
- He doesn't WANT to study.
- She doesn't LIKE to eat vegetables.
- Peter doesn't SING or DANCE.

I really want to master in grammar.. what should i do? Since i always forget it 😭 especially for tenses
We wrote an article about this. Check it out: http://bit.ly/2dkiWKl
1. Study the rules.
2. Write often using the rules you learned.
3. Speak often using the rules you learned.
4. Read a lot of books to see more and more examples of proper grammar.
5. Listen to smart podcasts (not pop songs). Examples include "This American Life," anything by TED (TED Radio Hour), anything by NPR (e.g., "Fresh Air"), and "Revisionist History."
Keep practicing, and don't get discouraged. 💪 English is a tricky language to master. Even native speakers struggle with their grammar.
That's all for today. See you back here on Tuesday! 👋

how do we describe animal? should i use he/she?
If it's a family pet, you can use he or she. My dog Chewie is a male dog. I call Chewie a "he," e.g., "He loves to bark at the mailman."
If it's not a family pet, use "it." For example, "We saw a lion. It roared at us."
