    The correct phrase is "Hello, everybody." Everybody is a synonym for everyone. (every person) However, I can see why you might think "Hello, every buddy" may be correct as it is a friendly phrase. ;)

    I don't have/I do not have/ I have: precedes a NOUN (expresses possession) (I have a dog. I don't have a dog.) I haven't/ I have not/ I have: precedes a VERB/ PAST PARTICIPLE (I have spoken. I haven't spoken.) ***English speakers also often say "have got" or "haven't got" to express possession. Although this occurs, it is grammatically incorrect. Ex: I've/ I have got a ticket to the movie. (<<incorrect) I have a ticket to the movie.(<<<correct)

    You bring up an interesting point. To be honest, as a native English speaker, "there comes a bus" does not sound correct either. Both "HERE comes a bus" and "HERE comes a person" would be preferred. The verb "come" (per its meaning) should not be followed with the preposition "there." Come HERE

    "You wish" has a humorous/sarcastic tone. It is meant to imply that you do not believe what someone says or that you do not agree with what someone says, etc. For example: Person 1: "I think that girl is flirting with me." Person 2: "Ha..... you wish!" This is a phrase intended for only people who are friends or are comfortable joking with each other. Used with the wrong person, it could hurt someone's feelings.

    I have "a lots of dreams" is not correct (grammatically). Both of the following would be accurate: I have A LOT of dreams. I have LOTS of dreams. This is similar to saying the following: I have A FRIEND. I have FRIENDS. In both cases, the indefinite article is needed when the term is used in the *singular* form. Source: American English, self

    Conocer= to know people and places (or to be familiar with people or places) Saber= to know facts and information, and to know how to do something To sum it up: Use "conocer" for familiarity and "saber" for knowledge. Examples: 1. Conocemos a Susana= We know Susana. 2. Ella sabe la dirección de su amigo = She knows her friend's address. 3. Yo conozco a la madre de Susana= I know Susana's mother. 4. Ellos saben cocinar= They know how to cook. 5. El turista conoce la ciudad de Madrid= The tourist knows/ is familiar with the city of Madrid.

    You are right, Kelly. She did not say "when are you going to." Great job picking up on this! :) She actually said "when are you gonna." This is not proper English but a very, VERY common way of shortening the phrase "going to"... probably happened because the sounds of "g" and "t" are really awkward together, and is a difficult sound to make. In many cases, in spoken English, "gonna" (although not a real word) is more common than "going to." Source: American English (self)
