1.

don't know needs a subject - in your other version the other people appear to be the subject - so what don't they know ?

2.
I heard from my friends that you didn't like her.
I heard from my friends that you don't like her
I heard through my friends that you didn't like her.

I think all three are possible. Though "don't like her" is probably best unless the "you" has changed their opinion.

3.
Tell me everything about the story

Though "Tell me the story" also works.

4.
i don't understand what you said


5.
i have told you many times that she is not beautiful

one is or is not beautiful - to be, not to have

OR I have said many times that she is not beautiful.

1. The first sentence isn't right because of this part: "where taught in." You must put an object after "where." You could instead say, "where classes were taught in English." That would be correct. The second sentence is correct because you used "that" instead of "where." When you see "that" in a sentence like the one you're using, a verb will usually come right after "that." (Like you used "taught" as the verb.") To double-check yourself when using "that," do this: "I wanted to go to the kindergarden that taught in English." "What taught in English?" "The kindergarden taught in English." If the sentence does not answer the "What?" question, then it is probably missing a noun (kindergarden, in this case). Okay, number 2: The first one is correct, and is probably the way you would most often hear it spoken in English. The difference between these three sentences is the verb TENSE. That tells WHEN the camera is broken. The first sentence is present tense; you're saying: "I hope it isn't broken now." The second sentence is not correct because it's like you are saying "I Hope it won't be broken tomorrow." ("won't be" is future tense." The third sentence can be correct as well: it is past tense. Since you are talking about the camera falling, and that happened before you spoke, you could use past tense. Past tense can be used for any action that happens in the past, whether it is yesterday, last year, or a few seconds ago. This is the way I was taught to remember which verb tense is correct. Consider the verb "to drop." Now say: "Today I drop the camera." (present tense) "Yesterday I dropped the camera." (past tense) "Tomorrow I will drop the camera." (future tense) You might have studied these tenses yet, but if you have, you'll recognize them: "Right now I am dropping the camera." (present perfect) "Some time in the past, I have dropped the camera." (past perfect) If you haven't studied them yet, don't worry about them! You can use any verb in those sentences, and that will help you remember the tenses! I hope that makes sense--English grammar is complicated! :)

The correct English is:

1. They [you must start every sentence with a capital letter] don't usually talk to people ["other" is redundant] whom [not "who"] they don't know.
2. All three are technically correct, although "through my friends" isn't very common.
3. "about the story"
4. "what you said" ["that you said" would make it an incomplete sentence]
5. "is not beautiful" [beautiful is an adjective; "has not beautiful" is not English
