"Thank you very much" or is it "thank you so much" ?
They're both OK. They mean the same thing.

Hi, would you mind to tell me how to use "lowkey" in sentences and what is actually the use of lowkey :)
We've been getting a lot of questions about "low-key" lately. Hmm ...
"Low-key" basically means "not flashy" or "not showy." For example, "She wore a low-key outfit to the ceremony."
People often use it nowadays informally as a synonym for "secret." For example, "Keep it low-key, but my friend cheated on the exam." In formal writing, don't use "low-key" in that sense. Use "Be discreet" or some other synonym instead.

When should I use 'had' and 'has' in a sentence? Pls help me senpai.
Has → present tense for he, she, it, and singular nouns (except I, you):
- Peter has a black car.
- Nan has a lot of clothes.
- Henry has a lot of shoes.
Had → past tense for all nouns:
- Peter had no appointments yesterday, so he went to the cafe and relaxed.
- Nan had to get a shot from the doctor yesterday.
- Chewie and Henry had a good time at the dog park last week.
- Peter has a black car.
- Nan has a lot of clothes.
- Henry has a lot of shoes.

Does "sorry for keeping you awake" sound right?
Yes.
The words " I can't get over you" it means that we still have feeling with someone? CMIIW.
"I can't get over you" basically means "Even though we broke up, I am still in love with you, and no matter how hard I try, I can't stop loving you."
"af" ?

hi! im confused, which one is correct " i was graduated from" or "i graduated from". my friends ask me about it. please explain the answer with a simple way :)
"I graduated from" is right, e.g., "I graduated from UC Berkeley."
As for a simple explanation, it doesn't get much simpler than this Tumblr post we made: http://tmblr.co/Z90tLyk_EVCv

I've seen in several English texts and tweets that people use the quote marks after the dot, comma, etc. Is it correct to use it that way? 1. She said: "Life's hard". 2. She said: "Life's hard." I think the first one is far more natural...
In British English, "Life's hard". is how it would be written. In American English, it would be "Life's hard." For us, the latter is much more natural (because we live in America).

Ok, lets talk about the important thing, that Levi Ackermann didn't die in Attack on Titan. Yeah L died and its sad but as long as Levi lives, there's a reason to continue life!
Well said. Speaking of characters whose names start with "L," add Luffy to that list.

Is the word "unconditionally" a legitimate word? And if it is, how do I use it in a sentence?
Yes, it is a legitimate word. One of the most common ways that word is used is "I love you unconditionally," which means "I love you no matter what you say, look like, do for me, etc.," i.e., without conditions.
The world would be a better place if all parents loved their children unconditionally. 🙏

what's the meaning of "for crying out loud"?
"For crying out loud" is something you say when you're angry, irritated, or frustrated about something:
- For crying out loud, can you please turn down the music while I'm studying?
- Hurry up and get ready, for crying out loud! We're going to be late for the show!
- How could you forget my mom's birthday?! It's the same as Christmas, for crying out loud!
- For crying out loud, can you please turn down the music while I'm studying?
- Hurry up and get ready, for crying out loud! We're going to be late for the show!
- How could you forget my mom's birthday?! It's the same as Christmas, for crying out loud!
you shouldn't have. should i cite this when someone is giving smthg ???
"You shouldn't have" is a polite way of saying "Thank you." For example, "You got me a birthday present? You shouldn't have."
What is the diference between SINCE/BECAUSE?
They mean the same thing:
- Since you're my friend, I will let you use my laptop. = Because you're my friend, I will let you use my laptop.
But of course, SINCE is also used for time (from point A in time until now):
- Since yesterday, Peter has been looking for good headphones.
- Nan has been a fan of Rain since "Full House" aired in 2004.
Take a look at the picture. Sometimes, using "Since" can create confusion because the reader doesn't know what your intend meaning is.

what is the meaning of cherry on top as an expression? (+ am i asking you correctly?)
1. Yes, you are asking it correctly.
2. It means "a good thing that is the final piece to something that is already very good."
For example, "The university is one of the best in the world, and the cherry on top is that I can go there for free." Here's one more: "I received a big bonus at work, and the cherry on top is that my boss will double it every year."

".. 5 percent of the 64 million-strong population." What's the meaning of "strong" in that "million-strong"? same with "-ish"? Thank you!
(X)-strong = (x)-in number. It's a way to express how many people are in the group, organization, country, etc. Therefore, "64 million-strong population" = "64 million people."
For example, "The band's fan base has grown to 32 million-strong" = "The band has 32 million fans."
For example, "The band's fan base has grown to 32 million-strong" = "The band has 32 million fans."

What the difference between the number of and a number of? Thx for helping
"A number of" means "several," and it must always be used with a PLURAL verb:
- A number of children ARE sick today.
- Why WERE a number of brand new books inside the trash can?
- Nan burnt a number of cookies, but the ones she didn't burn WERE delicious.
"The number of" means "the amount of" or "the quantity of," and it must always be used with a SINGULAR verb:
- The number of sick children IS increasing each week.
- In America, the number of electric cars HAS grown steadily since 2015.
- A number of children ARE sick today.
- Why WERE a number of brand new books inside the trash can?
- Nan burnt a number of cookies, but the ones she didn't burn WERE delicious.

Rest assured = believe?
"Rest assured" = "you can be sure that," "you can be confident that." For example, "Rest assured that the police will do everything in their power to keep the community safe."
keep the dream alive. what is it supposed to be "alive" instead of "live" .. i need a very deep clarification thnx 😻 should 'keep' be followed by adj !?
You're on the right track: "keep" is followed by a noun, an adjective, an adverb, or an -ing verb:
- Keep my dog safe. ("My dog" = noun; "safe" = adjective.)
- Keep warm while I'm gone. ("Warm" = adjective.)
- Keep practicing: you're not ready yet.
- Keep your arm straight. ("Straight" in this sentence is an adverb; it modifies "keep.")
- Keep calm and study on." ("Calm" can be both an adjective and a noun in this sentence.)
- Keep my dog safe. ("My dog" = noun; "safe" = adjective.)
- Keep warm while I'm gone. ("Warm" = adjective.)
- Keep practicing: you're not ready yet.
- Keep your arm straight. ("Straight" in this sentence is an adverb; it modifies "keep.")
- Keep calm and study on." ("Calm" can be both an adjective and a noun in this sentence.)
"She never hope" or "she never hopes"?
"She never hopes." (In the present tense, we use "hopes" for she, he, it, and singular nouns [except I and you].)
you do seems like you love k-pop, right? *correct me if my grammar is wrong*
"You seem to like K-pop. Am I right?" Or "You like K-pop, right?"
What the meaning of "sounds legit" thankyou n have a nice day💜
It's a slang/informal way of saying "That sounds right."
But many people, especially on the Internet, use "sounds legit" (and "seems legit") sarcastically. In other words, they use it when something is clearly not right, real, or genuine. For example, "You're Superman and your brother is Batman? Sounds legit." 😏
If we saw the advertisement (see picture), we would read it and say "Sounds legit" ... and then laugh (because he's clearly not an English "expert").
