Why am I so dreaded that I might be dead tomorrow? 1. "why am I" or "why I am" 2. Does "dreaded" is grammatically correct? 3. Thanks in advance!

The best way to express this idea is "Why am I so afraid that I might die tomorrow?" Or "Why am I so full of dread that I might die tomorrow?"
When you're asking a question, use "Why am I" not "Why I am." (The same applies to "Why are you ...?", "Why is she ...?", "Why is he ...?", and so forth.)

what does it mean when someone's skin is RESILIENT?

"Resilient" means "flexible" and "able to quickly recover." If someone's skin is resilient, it means that it can withstand a lot of stretching, scratching, and other forms of abuse—and heal quickly.

U learn or u learns? Can u tell me more about this?

"You learn."
With the pronoun "you," we never use the singular form of the verb.
For example,
- You sing. (Not "You sings.")
- You like to dance. (Not "You likes to dance.")
- You are a fan of 2NE1. (Not "You is a fan of 2NE1.")

'never get old' or 'never gets old'?

It depends:
If you're trying to say something like "It never gets old" or "That sh*t never gets old," then use the singular "gets."
If you're trying to say something like "Your jokes never get old," then use the plural "get."

Why are double-negative phrases/sentences becoming culturally acceptable? Can we actually use which in casual conversations? e.g. [...] ain't send me no letters.

In casual conversations with friends, anything goes. It all depends on how you and your friends communicate. With some of our friends, we rarely use proper grammar; with others, we use perfect grammar.
The important point, of course, is that you use proper grammar (including no double negatives) in formal writing and formal conversations.

If he's no longer taking a vacation, then "had been": He had been taking a vacation in Hawaii until he lost his job.

'I thought you was there' or 'I thought you are there'? What is the difference with not using past tense after DID/DIDN'T?

Actually, it should be "I thought you WERE there." ("Thought" is past tense, so you should use "were.")
After DID, DIDN'T, DO, DON'T, DOES, and DOESN'T, we use the base form of the verb:
- I didn't KNOW the answer.
- You don't LIKE chocolate.
- She doesn't STUDY at home.
- I did TRY my best.
And so forth.

i like to watch tv or i like watching tv?

"To watch" is a verb; "watching" is a noun (gerund), but they mean the same thing, i.e., that you enjoy watching TV.
(However, you cannot say "I enjoy TO WATCH TV." "I enjoy WATCHING TV" is correct.) #BecauseEnglish

I always read tweets while watching a soccer match to see how people describe what's happening in a game. They always use present tense like 'scores' 'shot goes wide' etc. I know they're right; I just don't understand. I thought I should use 'scored' 'went' etc. Could u pls explain this to me? Than

When we talk about things that are happening in books, plays, movies, etc., we use the present tense, e.g., "Bruce Wayne DRIVES the Batmobile toward Wayne Manor and CONFRONTS the villains."
This has carried over to describing sporting events: "He shoots ... the goalkeeper blocks it ... there's a rebound ... he scores!" Using the present tense keeps us more engaged than "He shot ... he scored!" Furthermore, the announcer (or live-tweeter) is talking about the action as it is taking place, so it makes more sense to use the present tense.

is this sentence correct? "until she finds a permanent job, Clara will continue with her part time job?"

Yes. (You can write "part time" as "part-time.")

"still the best gift i have ever received" or "had ever received"?

"... I have ever received."
Use "had ever received" with a phrase like "until now": It was the best gift I had ever received until now (when you gave me a Lamborghini Aventador).
