    "I ain't" is used mostly in the US (and in 'cockney' (London) slang) in a colloquial context to replace the words " I am not..." " You are not..." etc (all forms of 'to be' in present tense) but is not really correct.

    'Never mind' = non importa, pazienza, non preoccuparti, lascia perdere according to the Collins-Sansoni dictionary. 'Never you mind' (colloquial) is more negative - 'non e' affar tuo'...similar to 'mind your own business'

    Both versions are correct, but have slightly different meanings. 1.'I won't go to the football match if he can't play.' This implies that if he is not allowed/able to play, then you won't go. 2.'I won't go to the football match if he isn't playing' This implies that your decision to go to the match depends on whether or not he is playing. Hope this helps.

    It could mean 'shall we carry on?' or 'shall we continue?' 'shall we go ahead?' or without the question intonation: 'let's carry on / we'll carry on'

    1. "I was (about) to run, when......" = 'stavo per correre, quando..... ' 2. "I was out running/I had gone running" = 'ero a correre' 3. "I was (supposed) to run, but....." (you would probably say 'I was about to go running' - it's more natural) = 'dovevo correre, ma........' da' l'impressione che qualcosa ti abbia impedito di correre. Non e' veramente una regola, almeno non penso, ma io non insegno l'inglese: e' piuttosto un uso particolare. Com'e' strana la lingua inglese! Non avrei mai pensato che fosse cosi' difficile...e' anche molto 'fluida'.
