A: You CAN say "my secretary will be helping us to organize the event" but the sentence that you have already written sounds very good and is something that would more often be used with native speakers.

Adding "to" to that sentence would just be more formal rather than informal.

A: . It needs to be, "If I listened to her, this wouldn't be happening."

Here is the reason:

"If ____________, then XX wouldn't happen." ==> This refers to XX at a general time, now, later, whenever. The "if ____" part needs a present-tense verb. If we do something SOMEtime, then XX at SOME point will happen.

"If ___________, then XX wouldn't be happening." ==> This refers to XX RIGHT NOW. Ongoing, continuing. XX is not finished. The "if ______" part needs a past-tense verb, because XX started in the past. If we don't want XX to happen, then something else in the past needed to happen first.

A: “Shouldn't you take the call?” Or “Shouldn’t you take that call?”

Receive would be used when they are still waiting for a person to call.

In the sentences above “take” is when someone is currently calling a friend and they ignore the call.

A: Both are perfectly fine! I think I more often would hear "where were you all day" or "where have you been all day" though. Most of the time we don't use "all day long" unless we are stressing the fact that the person was gone because we really missed them, or expected them to be there, that kind of thing.

Hope that helps! 😊
