"i'm so confused (with/to) blablaa" ?

"I'm so confused" goes with "with" or "about," but they have different meanings. To be "confused about" something means that you don't understand it:
- I'm so confused about calculus.
- She is confused about her life and what she should do.
"Confuse (something) with (something)" means to mistake something for something else:
- Because my brother and I sound alike, it's easy to confuse me with him.
- The toddler confused his babysitter with his mom.

hello im curious and i want to ask you.. is it right after word 'be' must to put ed at the end of verb?

If you put a verb after "be," then it must be in the past participle form (which is -ed for regular verbs):
- The criminal will be EXECUTED.
- That character is going to be KILLED off, isn't he?
- The essay will be FINISHED next week.
- Will she be TAKEN to the hospital? ("Take" is an irregular verb; its past participle is not "taked" but "taken.")
All of the the above examples are in the passive voice, which is basically [a form of "be"] + past participle.

what does "a win-win situation" mean ?! thnx 😎😎😎

We use "win-win" for a situation that benefits both parties or has two distinct benefits:
- If you study with me, we'll be able to help each other—and we'll both do well. It's a win-win. (Benefits both parties.)
- If you study hard, you'll become smarter and get better scores. It's a win-win. (Has two distinct benefits.)

I would like to congratulate you for being chosen to take part in that competition. . Is this correct ?

Yes. 👌
Bonus information: We use "congratulations ON" to express good wishes for a happy event:
- Congratulations ON your wedding!
- Congratulations ON your new baby!
We use "congratulations FOR" to praise someone's achievement:
- Congratulations FOR finishing all of your college application essays!
- Congratulations FOR winning the scholarship!

"The past is in the past" or "The pas was in the past"? Why?

It depends on what you mean. "Is" is present tense; "was" is past tense. Think of it this way: "He is sick" (he is still sick) vs. "He was sick" (he used to be sick, but he's not sick now).
"The past is in the past" = The past is still in the past; it doesn't matter what happened in the past. "The past was in the past" = The past used to be in the past, but not now; what happened in the past now matters.

"Sarah stew silently beside me" what does 'stew' mean in this sentence?

Informal meanings of "stew" include "to worry about something" and "to be in a bad mood." In your example sentence, it could be either one, so take a look at the other sentences around it (context) to figure out which one makes more sense.

What is the meaning of "Pound away" can you use it in a sentence, is it a phrasal verb or idiom?

It's an idiom that means "to criticize something" or "try to get someone to do something." For example, "We pounded away at our teachers until they allowed us to have a party on the last day of school."
It can also be used more literally, "to hit something constantly," e.g., "The jackhammer pounded away at the asphalt pavement."

Hi, what is phrasal verb? Can i make a sentence without using it and still im grammatically correct?

A phrasal verb is a verb plus a preposition or adverb which creates a meaning different from the original verb. They are similar to idioms.
For example, "Run away" could mean to flee, but it could also mean to leave home (to flee from parents, siblings, abuse, etc.). Here is a list of many common phrasal verbs: http://bit.ly/1uGMuP9
You are not required to use phrasal verbs in your sentences. In fact, many phrasal verbs are considered informal, so it's even better to avoid using them in essays.
