Hey there, Quick question: If I want to make a point that things wouldn't be different, what tense should I use informally? Let's say I'm texting with a relative, I just moved to a new city, and I'm like: "It's not that I had decided to stay, but you should've told me that." Or should it be "...that I would've decided to stay" or "...that I was going to decide to stay..." Thx.

Silly question, When someone's teaching you how to use an app on your phone or how to play a game with a controller, how do you guys usually ask' em which button you should press to do something? I've seen "What button do I press to do whatever?" but it kinda sounds too formal to me.

Hey. I was wondering what makes you guys use or not the word "that" to describe an action, informally, like: "Ok, I'll tell Martha that you're here." or "I'll tell Martha you're here." Not sure those were the best examples though...

Hey, How do teachers usually call that part of their job when they're checking students' answers on tests? I found something like "grading exams" or tests, maybe just papers... I'm not sure which one they use more often.

Quick Question: "You should go check on that." or "You should go check it out."? Let's say, like when you hear a noise downstairs and you want to send someone else to see what's going on. Not sure exactly what's the difference between "check on" or "check out" here. Thx.
