The number of stars visible to the naked eye on a perfectly clear night is about 6000 in the total sphere, or 3000 from a person's 180 degree field of view from the surface.
There are about 400 billion stars in the milky way, and an incalculable amount of stars in the entire universe.

From a clear, dark sky an human with relatively good eyesight could see at most maybe 5000 stars in total (including both hemispheres and all seasons).
Actual stars in the Milky Way galaxy - about 200 billion stars.
Estimated number of galaxies in the universe - about 100 billion.
I'll let you do the math on the total number of stars in the universe.

Star are always being born and dying but from dying stars new ones come into being. there are stars we can't see even with telescopes; there are dark stars; there are many different classes of stars. So with this in mind, if you count the number of sand grains on every beach on earth it would still be tiny (less than 1%) in comparison to the actual amount of stars in the sky and ultimately the universe.

Cuz you already no that. Well there are about 400 billion stars in a galaxy. The Andromeda galaxy is two million light years away and is the farthest object that you can see with the naked eye. So the number is 400 billion plus. So you already know that,right?

We don't see every star, and the amount of starts there are in the universe is unknown. They aren't "in the sky," either.
As for the ones we can see from earth? That changes based on lighting conditions of our surrounding, whether we are looking with the naked eye or telescope/binoculars, and the pollution level of the air of the particular environment.
I'm sure you could look around on the Internet to see, roughly, how many stars are visible from earth during typical conditions.

theres billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars. so in the universe. theres several billion billion stars. but from any given point on the earth (out in the country or any place with less lights) with the naked eye, u could maybe only see a few thousand (and thats counting the really faint ones barley noticeable).

Millions, but the usual question is how many can you see. The answer to that question depends on how good your eyes are and how clear the atmosphere is.

Just one during the day. At night, it depends on how dirty and cloudy the air is, plus how much light pollution there is.
