what does phrase "take it for fact" mean ? Give examples. 😘

It's not really a common expression, so literally, it would mean "accept something as a fact" or "assume that something is a fact."
- My teacher always told me to never take it for fact whatever I read in books.
- If you don't think your teacher is right, don't take it for fact that he is right and you are wrong. Teachers make mistakes.
- Feel free to ask questions; don't take it for fact that they know more than you do.

which one is true, "there are a lot of people" or "there's a lot of people" ?? i always get confused with this. thankyou 😊

"A lot of people" = "many people," so it's plural. Therefore, it should be "There ARE a lot of people." (The same for "There ARE many people.")
"A lot of" is singular or plural depending on what word comes after it. If it's a countable noun, "a lot of" is plural:
- A lot of books (plural) ARE missing from the library.
- A lot of boys (plural) ARE playing basketball today.
If it's a mass noun, "a lot of" is singular:
- A lot of snow (mass noun) IS falling right now. 🌨
- A lot of money (mass noun) IS missing from my account. 💸😨

i heard a line in sia's song "cheap thrills" which is written "i dont need no money" what does it mean?

It means "I don't need money." ("Don't need no" is a double negative, which means that it is unacceptable in formal written English. However, in informal usage, it's fine.)
- I don't need no friends. = I don't need friends.
- She doesn't need no food. = She doesn't need food.

what is the difference between "capable" and "able"?

They mean roughly the same thing, but there is a key subtle difference. Generally, we use "able" to describe current things someone can do, and "capable" to talk about someone’s future potential.
- She is able to speak three languages. (She speaks three languages now.) 👧💬
- She is capable of speaking three languages. (She has the potential to speak three languages in the future; she is smart enough to speak three languages in the future.)
- I am able to lift 200 pounds. (I can lift 200 pounds now.) 💪
- I am capable of lifting 200 pounds. (I have the potential to lift 200 pounds in the future.)

my lecturer gives us a 15 question. and the question number onebis "What is grammar?" and question number three is "define grammar". Are both a different question? if yes, why? because we think theres no difference . . CMIIW about my ask please

They are the same question. It's like "What is a book?" vs. "Define 'book.'" You would answer the same to both questions.

Would u like to explaining about what is overrated and underrated. thank u.

"Overrated" means that people think that something/someone is much better than it actually is. For example, if there is a restaurant that always has hundreds of people standing in line and has thousands of excellent reviews on Yelp (but you know that the food isn't that good because you've tried it before), then you would say that the restaurant is overrated. People use "overrated" with athletes, movies, books, songs, video games—basically anything that can be "rated."
Peter: Can you believe he's a 94 on FIFA 16?
Henry: What?! He's so overrated! He should be a 79 at best!
"Underrated" would be the opposite: something or someone who is much better than people think it is.
Henry: Can you believe he's a 76 on FIFA 16?
Peter: What?! He's so underrated! He should be at least a 92!

"No need no guy to be happy" I see posts like that.. Is that right? "Don't need no guy to be happy?" Are those right??

They are OK only in slang/informal English. In standard English, the correct way to say them is "I don't need a guy to be happy." ("Don't need no" is a double negative, which is incorrect in standard English.)
Here is a page that has many examples of double negatives: http://bit.ly/2cnqau7
