    Correction: "What do you call your wife or husband?" In English, people usually refer to their spouses by their first names. If someone does not know that my wife is named Jen, then I will talk about her as simply "my wife". When addressing my wife directly, I use pet names as many English speakers do. Pet names are meant to be silly and intimate for a couple. There are countless standard pet names, and you can make up your own pet names for your spouse. Examples of pet names: sweetie, honey, baby, babe, darling, peach, pudding, dumpling, lovely, love, gorgeous, good-looking, etc. Never refer to your wife or husband with a pet name in a conversation with someone else. Haha!

    The things we know are wrong are actually right. Maybe I changed the meaning, but my sentence makes sense. It is a difficult concept that you are trying to convey.

    事后避孕药的早晨 Shìhòu bìyùn yào de zǎochen (only according to google translate, but literally means "afterwards contraception medicine in the morning" - seems like the right translation)

    In general, the government will not pay for the damages in crimes. Damages include stolen propery, hospital bills, emotional trauma, etc. The government will help you, however, if you become disabled for any reason, including crime. They will also help you to sue the person responsible to try to make them pay for the damages or return the equivalent of the stolen property.

    "Mary has got a boyfriend" and "Has Mary got a boyfriend?" are not correct but are commonly said colloquially. Many Americans would correct each other about such a grammar mistake though. When still learning English, always say "Mary has a boyfriend" and "Does Mary have a boyfriend?"

    I love this question because I am from the American South. "Ain't" is a word that means the same as "isn't" and is used regularly by locals in the west and south of America. However, as with all regional English speech, you should be careful about using it. It is best to learn proper English first before using words like "ain't" because there are situations where "ain't" might not be considered polite.
