What's "hands down" , "hands up" and "hands off" means?

"Hands down" = easily; certainly; definitely: My friend thinks Real Madrid will win the Champions League again hands down.
"Hands up" = give up, surrender: Put your hands up and slowly come out of the car!
"Hands up" = celebrate: My next song will make you put your hands up and party!
"Hands-off" = without interference: My parents' hands-off approach gives me a lot of freedom to make my own decisions.
"Hands off" = a warning not to touch something: That's my cake; hands off!

What does "you got that 9 to 5" mean? Thank you :)

"9 to 5" refers to a day at work (9 am to 5 pm), so it probably means "You got that job" (you have a job to do during the day).

Is "the very worst" wrong?

"The very worst" and "the very best" are used for emphasis:
- Jo thinks GD is the VERY BEST artist.
- That was the VERY WORST gift I've ever received.
Otherwise, "very" is unnecessary.

The difference between 'color' and 'colour'?

They're the same word: "color" = American English; "colour" = British English.

The difference between "original" and " legit ".. Thank you btw !! :)

"Original" means "the first of its kind" or "innovative": I have an original painting by Monet; it's worth a fortune.
"Legit" is slang for "legitimate." It means "legal," "actual," or "conforming to the rules": Are his actions legit? He is a legit celebrity, not just one on Twitter.

what's the difference between rating and ranking ?

A "rating" is a score or review: The movie got a rating of 3.5 stars out of 5. The hotel has a five-star rating.
A "ranking" is how the score compares to other scores: The movie's ranking has dropped from 5th to 12th. The school's ranking has steadily risen in the past five years.

When we use house and 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."
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."

"You've been asked" or "you've been asking"

They mean different things:
- You've been asked = someone has asked you: You've been asked a question by Gerard Way; will you answer him?
- You've been asking = you are the one that has been asking: You've been asking too many questions. Please give other students a chance to ask theirs.

How's the right pronounciation of flour? Because some people pronounce it [flaw- er] and some people pronounce it just [ flaw] . I'm confuse

"Flour" rhymes with "flower."

When should I use "understood" and "understand"? What's the difference between them?

"Understand" is the present tense form: I understand you.
"Understood" is the past tense: I understood your explanation yesterday, but I don't remember what you said.

'despite his attempts, Galileo was...' or 'despite Galileo's attempts, he was...' ?

Both can be good, and both can be bad. It all depends on context. Let's look at these examples:
- John and Galileo worked together to solve life's mysteries. Despite his (?) attempts, Galileo was ...
- John and Galileo worked together to solve life's mysteries. Despite Galileo's attempts, he (?) was ...
We don't know who "his" and "he" refer to. That's why we should use names for both. For example, "Despite John's attempts, Galileo was ..." OR "Despite Galileo's attempts, John was ..."
If you're only writing ONE sentence (with no other context), then either is fine. It'll just be assumed that "his" and "he" both refer to Galileo since there is no one else mentioned.

Difference between for instance and for example ? Any specific time we can't use one or the other ?

There is almost no difference between "for instance" and "for example," other than that "for example" is considered more formal (i.e., you should use it in essays).

how does it feel? "falling in love"

Q. How does it feel? (Or "What does it feel like?")
A. Like falling in love. (Or "It feels like falling in love.")

what time will the plane (land/landed) tomorrow? after will what kind of verb do we use? thanks xx

After "will," use the base form of the verb (bare infinitive). Therefore, "What time will the plane LAND tomorrow?" is correct.

go and goes? whats the difference how/when to use goes?

"Go" is for I, you, and plural nouns: I go to the beach every day. Do you go to Starbucks often? They go to Disneyland as often as they can.
"Goes" is for singular nouns (except "I" and "you"): Jo goes to the library after school. The boy goes to the school with his father.
They are both present tense. ("Went" is the past tense; "gone" is the past participle.)
