What tense should I use when talking about someone who passed away? Present or past? :(

Past tense. "Jo WAS a kind lady who BELIEVED in me and HELPED me become the man I am today..."

When you write about a band with a number of members eg: 1. one direction is good or 2. one direction are good. which one is the correct one?

In American English, we treat band names as regular words, so "One Direction IS good"; "The Strokes ARE good."
In British English, most collective nouns are plural, so "One Direction ARE good" would be used more commonly. Similarly, "Manchester United ARE coming to America" would only be seen and heard in British English.

Coffee and tea ARE great. coffee or tea IS great. Is this true? if we use and we will be usinf ARE. But if we use or we will be using IS

Correct.
However, "Either the teachers OR the students ARE going to win the softball game." (This is because the nouns are plural.)

what is the meaning of "specsy" ? thanks! :)

In slang, "spexy" (or sometimes "specsy") describes someone who wears glasses and is sexy. (It's "spectacles" + "sexy.")

Very briefly; in very few words: "In a nutshell," the book was better than the movie.

if we write smtg in past tense, if the sentence is a long one , how many times we use past tense verb? eg : i never saw him did that even when he told everybody he's the one who finished the job. also like in simple present , eg : he always shouts when talks to his son .

I never SAW him DO that, even after he TOLD everybody that he WAS the one who HAD FINISHED the job.
He always SHOUTS when he TALKS to his son. He CHEWS loudly when he EATS carrots.

Can you please go over the SAT rules for Past, simple and present perfect! Sometimes both the past perfect and simple past can be correct and it is SO confusing! Thanks<3 Much love!

On the SAT, the past perfect (had + past participle) will almost always be used in the following ways:
1. in hypothetical situations with WOULD HAVE, COULD HAVE, SHOULD HAVE (and MIGHT HAVE):
Jo COULD HAVE won the race if she HAD TRAINED harder.
2. following phrases such as "Until (some year, day, month, etc.)" and "by the time":
BY THE TIME Jo arrived at the restaurant, her friends HAD BEGUN eating their meals.
3. to indicate that one past tense action finished before another:
Jo HAD FALLEN asleep when the phone rang.
For more on the past perfect, read this: http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/pastperfect.html
The SAT doesn't do anything special for the simple past. It's just this: http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/simplepast.html
Good luck!

My Princeton Review SAT book says that the correct answer to the sentece: "Their class has fewer singers than (us/we) is we. Another similar question is "If anyone deserves recognition for their contribution, is it (they/them). The correct answer is they. I would really appreciate some help, thanks!

"Their class has fewer singers than we (have)." "... than us (have)" doesn't make sense.
"If anyone deserves recognition for their contribution, it is they (who deserve it)."
You can read more about this topic here: http://tmblr.co/Z90tLy1BGzrj8 and here: http://tmblr.co/Z90tLyyzVIGG
This is only relevant on the SAT. In the real world, both are right.

I came across an error in my SAT grammar book but I don't understand it. "M.J. Hayland, who authored the novel How the Light Gets In, is often praised to be a subtle and complex portrayer of human psychology." The ERROR in this question is "to be" it should be replaced with as being. Plz explain thx

"Praised" is generally used in the following ways:
1. praised FOR something: Jo was praised for her bravery.
2. praised BY someone or something: Jo was praised BY the committee.
3. praised AS something: Jo was praised AS a heroine.
4. praised AS a person: Jo was often praised AS a child.
5. praised AS being something: The student was praised AS BEING an example of humility and diligence.
That question is dealing with #5.

What does "go all the way" mean and how to use it? Followed with to infinitive or ving?

"Go all the way" can mean three things:
1. Idiom: to have sex.
2. To do something to the fullest: After talking with the architect, we've decided to *go all the way* and rebuild our house from top to bottom.
3. To travel a far distance: They want to *go all the way* to New York from Los Angeles by car.

Cause forever doesn't belong to us. Is it correct? Thanks.

Informally, yes.
Formally, "That's because forever doesn't belong to us" would be better.

Is "evidence" already in plural form? Can you say evidences?

"Evidences" is obsolete; very few people (if any) use it anymore. Therefore, just use "evidence":
They need to provide evidence to support their claims.
The police arrested Jo without any evidence that she had committed the crime.

Can you explain what is the meaning of succumb. I searched for the meaning in the dictionary but still don't get it. The dictionary says it means to die or to give in. So can I say I would succumb for my fiancés life?

The meaning is right, but we wouldn't use it that way. "Succumb" is more like "to eventually give up" or "to eventually die from":
After weeks of wandering in the desert without water, Jo eventually *succumbed* to dehydration.
The castle *succumbed* to the invaders' unending assault against it.

How do i use the word reprimand in a sentence. Is it the same as scold? So can i say "yesterday the teacher reprimanded him for not completing his homework"

That sentence is correct. :-)
"Reprimand" can be used in the same way as "scold," but only if the person who is scolding is a person of authority: a ruler, a leader, a teacher, a parent, etc. In other words, a child cannot reprimand his father.

Hi! Your page really helps, please stay active because I love your posts <3 :D Anyway, I have a question, when refering to our mom and dad, which one should we use, 'parent' or 'parents' ? thanks :D

Since we're talking about both of them, it should be "parents."
P.S. Thanks for the kind words. ^_^

whats the different between sorry,apologize and pardon?and give some example of condition when to use sorry,apologize, etc. Thank u.:)

"Sorry" is what you say or feel when you do something bad:
1. I feel sorry for what I did to Jo yesterday.
2. "I'm sorry," said Jo.
"Apologize" is what you do when you do something bad:
1. Jo apologized for spreading rumours about me.
2. "Did you apologize to your sister?" my mom asked me.
"Pardon" is what you ask if you didn't understand someone. It's short for "I beg your pardon?":
Jo: I love you.
Me: Pardon?
"Pardon" is also a noun that means "forgiveness" or a verb that means "to forgive":
1. I received a pardon (noun) for sharing the secret information.
2. Did the government pardon (verb) you for sharing the secret information?
