Польский и Украинский языки интересно также но я думаю что это будет слишком много. Надо учусь Русский язык сейчас потому что я хочу был лучше с первом языке перед учиться ещё.

    You can use staffs to refer to multiple bodies when each body is comprised of multiple people. If referring to a single body, just use staff for plural. Use staves or staffs to refer to a long pole, except if it's a compounded word like flagstaff. Staves is more for magical items used in fantasy stories like "the hobbit" though.

    "Aside from" is more correct in your book example, I would say, especially in written use, but in colloquial use people use them interchangeably. "Besides" is not really proper English; the word beside should be used to show how close something is. Besides is a sloppy word to use in informal speech. "Aside" is more for negation in an argument, although "to set something aside" is also correct. "Asides" isn't a word to my knowledge.

    Both are correct but "he's been living under a log" is an idiom to describe someone who doesn't know what's going on or not picking up on things- especially in a social context. I've never heard "beneath" substituted in the case of that idiom. Also you should use "hear it in a song or in a poem." "A" is general, "the" is specific - you would only use "the" if you are referring to a specific poem that we have enough context to assume which one it is.
