some of my doubts are:
when to use "an", is it only before "vowels"?
when to use "said" and "told"? when to use "must" and "might"? when to use "have" and "should"? what is the difference between "everyone" and "everybody"? "gone" and "been" ? im very confused...pls help!

"an" before vowels
"said" doesn't need to be aimed at anyone - "I said look at that"
"told" is a command - "I told her to look at that" "I told them..."
"must" is a command - "you must look at that"
"might" is a suggestion - "you might look at that if you want."
"have" is a command - you have to look at that
"should" is a suggestion - "you should look at that, it's cool.
everyone and everybody have become interchangeable.
"gone" has no destination - "I looked, but she was gone"
"been" has a destination - "I have been to France"
I have included a grammer site.It looks like you know English very well already - better than most of the native English speakers on this site. Your concerns are minor and any place you use one where you might have used the other would go unnoticed. Merry Christmas

yes'an' is used before vowels, said is a naration and told is a convertion.'must' idicatesthe importance.where as might is to express which is likely to take place.. A decade ago to learn English, you had to attend costly English classes or purchase course material like tapes and books. Now you can learn English for free from the comfort of your home using the Internet. The BBC and the British Council offer a number of on line courses, which teach written and spoken English. You can also improve your English by watching television programs and reading English newspapers. For more information, visit http://tinyurl.com/qnzpt

i might propose to do much less of dealing with the guidelines and basically listening to it and examining it, to illustrate watch television in english and study magazines and undemanding books and such in english.
