what is the differences of thanks and thank you? or we can just use both everytime? thanks in advanced!

"Thanks" = "Thank you."
However, "thanks" is less formal, i.e., good to use between friends or family. "Thank you" is more formal and polite.

how to use word abstain. can you give me a few examples? thanks

"Abstain" = refrain from using or enjoying something.
Jo abstains from drinking chocolate milk because it ruins her appetite.
Jo abstains from eating candy because she has too many cavities.
Jo's father insists that Jo abstain from playing video games during exam season.

all i wanna do is spend/spending time with you ?

"All I want to do is spend time with you."
It's comparable to "All I want to do is SLEEP" (not "sleeping").

Watch "mind bending thumb bending", its on youtube. Proper grammar or nah?

"Mind-bending thumb-bending" would be better.
Otherwise, it can sound as if a mind is bending a thumb that is bending, or if a mind-bending thumb is bending.

what's the difference between light (verb) and lighten and enlighten?

"Light" = to put on fire: Jo will light the candles.
"Lighten" = to make light: Jo took many books from my backpack and lightened my load.
"Enlighten" = to teach, to make clear, to inform: Jo enlightened the class with her excellent insights.

"don't mess with me". what does that words mean?

It can mean lots of things:
1. Don't tease me.
2. Don't make fun of me.
3. Don't play with my feelings.
4. Don't deceive me.
5. Don't joke around with me.
6. Don't try to stop what I'm trying to do.

"I don't want to see him coming" or "I don't want to see his coming" I've seen people using both of them. Which one is right?

Technically, "his coming" is correct. That's because "coming" is a noun (gerund).
That sentence is virtually the same in structure as this one:
I don't want to see HIS CAR. (Not "I don't want to see HIM CAR.")
However, in everyday usage, just about everyone will say or write "him coming," so VERY FEW people would ever correct you if you used "him coming."

Any other terms for "right around the corner"??

"Around the corner" = about to happen soon, so words such as "imminent," "impending," "forthcoming," and "looming" (for something negative) work nicely.

Which is correct: - i have - i has

"I HAS" is always wrong.
"Has" is for he, she, it, and other singular pronouns and nouns.
"Have" is for I and you, and for we, they, and other plural nouns.

What's the difference between "know about [something]" and "know of [something]", and also "inside [something]" and "inside of [something]"? Thanks in advance.

I know of finite mathematics. = I have heard the name, but that is about all I know.
I know about finite mathematics. = I have learned this subject.
I know all about finite mathematics. = I am an expert.
One other usage of "know of":
Q: Has anyone in your family mastered finite mathematics?
A; Not that I know of.

"I watched her read the letter" "I saw her making love with the guy" both sentences are correct right. Could you explain why the first sentence after the word her is base word while the second sentence after the word her is -ing

English is full of random rules.
Here is a really helpful list of verbs that take gerunds and infinitives: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/verblist.htm

"i like boys who loves kids" is my grammar right? :D

Because "boys" is plural, it should be "I like boys who LOVE kids."

Are these two sentences right: "Walkers were prevented from crossing the field after it was fenced off by the framer." and "Walkers were prevented from crossing the field by the framer after he fenced it off." I'm not sure where "by the farmer" has to be.

It depends on what the farmer was doing.
If you're saying that he fenced off the field, then it should be "Walkers were prevented from crossing the field after it was fenced off by the farmer."
If you're saying that he prevented people from crossing, it should be "Walkers were prevented from crossing the field by the farmer after he fenced it off."
In those sentences, you're using the passive voice ("by the farmer"). You can change them to the active voice: "The farmer prevented walkers from crossing the field after he fenced it off," or "The farmer fenced off the field, thereby preventing people from walking across it."

my english teacher said that I have to use singular noun if I use "Some" but I saw your example and you used plural form. which one is correct? thankyou

"Some" can be followed by either a plural noun or a mass noun (uncountable noun):
Some apples / some chairs / some air / some water / some books / some fun / some letters / some information

programme or program?

In British English, "program" refers to computer programs, and "programme" is used for all other senses of the word.
In American English, we never use "programme"; we always use "program."

oh plural have to be with plural? but how about "more information"? why not more informations

"Information" is a mass noun, i.e., it's considered uncountable.

When do we use 'a' and 'some'? I'm confused about this. Please help me. Thank you.

"A" is singular: a cat, a hat, a bat, a mat, a brat, a gnat, etc.
"Some" is an unspecified plural amount, i.e., more than few but less than many:
Some pens are missing from my backpack.
Some of my friends don't like coffee.
Some people think that smoking is actually not harmful.

It's 'breakfasting' or 'fast-breaking' ?

Are you trying to say "eating breakfast"?
"Fast-breaking" would be either breaking a fast or a term in basketball that refers to players running quickly down the court to score a basket.
"Breakfasting" can mean "eating breakfast," but "eating breakfast" is better.

Is 'nobody supposed to know i've watched this' correct?

"Nobody is/was supposed to know I've watched this." (You just need to add a verb.)

Why when we paraphrase this sentence "As soon as I entered my office one of my employees came to talk to me", it's "Hardly had I entered my office when..." Why is it "had" since the sentence is in past simple I thought it should be "hardly did I entered".

1. After "did," we use the base form of the verb, i.e., "enter," not "entered."
2. We use the past perfect (had + past participle, e.g., "entered") to indicate a completed action before something in the past: http://bit.ly/1nlbdFt

which one of these is true A.I will avenge against you for my father's death B. I will avenge you for my father's death C:I will avenge my father's death against you D:I will have revenge against you for my father's death E: I will have revenge on my father's death for you

D.
You can also use "I will avenge my father's death by killing you."

whats the meaning of 'cross fingers'?

When you want something to happen but you're nervous about it, you "cross your fingers" or "keep your fingers crossed."
Jo: I really hope G-DRAGON comes to my party. I sent him an invitation.
Me: Let's keep our fingers crossed.
To "cross your fingers" also can mean "I lied":
Jo: You said you were going to buy me dinner!
Me: Haha. I had my fingers crossed when I said it.
