I dont understand how to use "aint"
"Ain't" is an extremely informal word. Take a look at the picture for how it works.

Whats happen to your grammar or whats happen for your grammar
Neither. It should be "What happened to your grammar?" That's what you would ask to someone whose grammar used to be good but is now bad. (The more formal/technical way to ask would be "What has happened to your grammar?")

Is there a deadline for internship applications or has it already passed? A little confused from the updates' page: "will be recruiting new round of interns on June 5", as I thought the application process begins with the start of June? Thank you!
Hi. There is no firm deadline as of yet, so feel free to apply. Since June 5, we've received dozens of applications, so if you're going to apply, do so quickly. Good luck! 👍🏻

The journey has begun? Is it correct?
Yes, it is correct. "Begin" → "began" → has/have/had "begun." 👍🏻

Is "Don't need no money to have a good time" grammatically correct? And what does the statement mean? Double negative = positive?
It's not grammatically correct. As you pointed out, it's a double negative, which is a no-no. 🙅🏻 The sentence is saying "You don't need (any) money to have fun."

Is it true if I say " does the tshirt serves many colour ?"
Are you trying to ask, "Does the T-shirt come in different colours?" or "Is the T-shirt available in different colours?"

Be it askfm, twitter or instagram, i love your accounts! You elaborate things perfectly. Thumbs up mate! I saved many pics from your account because it may be useful in the future 😉 (Correct my sentence if there are grammatical errors)
Thanks for the kind words! Your sentences were almost perfect, but we would capitalize "Twitter," "Instagram," and "I" in the first sentence, add a comma before "mate," and change "it may be" to "they may be" (because "pics" is plural). 👍🏻

How to improve grammar properly? I am not feel confident when I'm speaking and writing. But I am easy understand what people said, ty before! ☺
Hi. We answered something similar just a few minutes ago: https://ask.fm/The_YUNiversity/answers/142526514818
In your case, we would also add one important tip: PRACTICE. Especially when it comes to speaking and writing, nothing beats practice. Read books aloud, talk to your friends in English (and if you're embarrassed about it, talk to yourself at first), keep a journal and write in English every day, etc. If you keep it up for a few months, you will see a big improvement! 👍🏻

What is different between important & importance, confident & confidence, etc. Thanks!
"Important" and "confident" are adjectives; "importance" and "confidence" are nouns.
For example: Be CONFIDENT when you talk about IMPORTANT matters. Because your audience will be paying close attention, your CONFIDENCE is of the utmost IMPORTANCE when you speak.

for better english what should we do......should we start from tenses or just reading books
Reading books is a good place to start. But as you read, pay attention to how the author uses verb tenses. At the same time, pay attention to sentence structure, how he or she uses adverbs and adjectives, and what idioms are being used. If you ever get confused, turn to a grammar guide (a book or an online site). A great website for verb tenses is http://www.englishpage.com
Good luck! 👍🏻

Hi! What is that phrase if we want someone to treat us a meal? I've heard it once, but i forgot. The phrase has the tab word....is it the tab's on me? Thank you :)
The phrase with "tab" would be "Put it on my tab," which means 'put it on my on-going bill' (which I'll pay later). If someone is offering to pay for the meal, he would say "It's on me." If you want to eat a meal and have someone else (a friend, for example) pay for it, you could ask, "Hey, can we put it on your tab?" 😁

When i uploaded my picture on instagram, my friend left a comment like "aesthetically pleasing huh?" What is the meaning of "aesthetically pleasing"? And then, what kind answer should I reply to her comment? Thank you guys. (I'm so sorry my English is bad :(( )
"Aesthetically pleasing" is another way of saying 'pretty' or 'beautiful.' If someone asks, "Aesthetically pleasing, huh?", you can reply, "Yes, it is." If someone says, "Your pictures are aesthetically pleasing," then you can respond, "Thank you." (Btw, your English is not bad at all.) 👍🏻

Do we pronounce Nasa as a normal word because it is easy to do so (unlike WC and FBI)?
That certainly helps. 😀
The boys have been scolded by the mother for the whole day. *Is this sentence grammatically correct ?
No. "The boys were scolded by their mother all day long" would be correct. If you want to use "have been scolded," something like this would work: "The boys have been scolded by their mother since noon."

How do I use " ; " ?
A semicolon connects two similar sentences together. The "formula" is SENTENCE; SENTENCE. For example, "I am tired; I want to go home and rest." (You could think of a semicolon as a period/full stop.) A semicolon can also function as a 'mega-comma,' used to add clarity in sentences that have lots of commas: "Last summer, I visited Tokyo, Japan; Rome, Italy; Sydney, Australia; and Chicago, USA."

none of the boys (is /are) ...
With "none of (x)," we use "is" if (x) is a singular/uncountable noun; we use "are" if (x) is a plural noun. In your example, since "boys" is plural, we would say/write "None of the boys ARE here right now." (But it would be "None of your work IS acceptable.")

Which is correct, "I was wrong" or "I were wrong"?
You would use "I were wrong" only with "if," "I wish," etc. For example, "I wish I were wrong, but I never make mistakes." We call that the subjunctive mood, which you can read more about here: https://tmblr.co/Z90tLy2Ki0XEs
You can use "I was wrong" any time you want to describe a past experience when you were wrong, e.g., I was wrong when I said that the teacher was sick.

if the plural form for sheep is sheep. The sheep is /are ???
If you're talking about one sheep, "The sheep is ...."; if you're talking about more than one sheep, "The sheep are ...." You need to give your reader/listener context clues so they know whether you're describing one sheep or several. 🐑

when & how to use hyphen ? please explain clearly-
A hyphen (-) is used to join words (e.g., mother-in-law, editor-in-chief) or to separate the syllables of the same word at the end of a line if the word doesn’t fit (see picture).

Do native people usually use the word "hence" when they talk?
Yes. We see it and hear it quite often. Similarly, "thus" and "therefore" are also common.
Why "WC" is pronounced as two letters while "NASA" is pronounced as an actual word, as it is written?
Good question. "WC" is an initialism, which means that we say the individual letters (e.g., FBI, DVD, CIA, USA). "NASA" is an acronym, so we pronounce it as though it were a normal word (e.g., scuba, laser, OPEC, RAM). In case you were wondering, "scuba" stands for 'self-contained underwater breathing apparatus' and "laser" stands for 'light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.'
