"Wow, you are so kind!" is the natural sounding, correct expression in this case.

Can you teach me when and how to use "What a...."?
Can I say "What a great people (they are)!" or if it's plural,
Does it have to be like "! What great people!"

"What great people!" would be the right thing to say, as you're making a declaration about a group of people and not a single person. The particle "a" is used mainly before a single item.

and one more silly question may I ask?
Which XXXX
XXXX could be plural?
This is the situation,
there are 5 yellow buses, and 5 red buses and 5 blue ones too.
and I am supposed to take a bus to go to The Magical town.
These buses leave at the same time, because there are so many passengers.
Different colours different directions...
then when I want to ask....
"Which buses go to the Magical Town?" is right?
or
"Which bus goes to the M T?" is right?
|
The second sentence ("Which bus goes to the Magical Town?") is correct. It is possible that more than one bus will have the same destination, but taking a different route. Especially if the buses are colour-coded as in the given example. However, since there is only one of you, one bus going to the destination you want is all you want to know.
After you do find out which bus (or buses sharing a colour and possibly the same route) is correct, all that remains to be found out is which bus is closest to you that isn't driving away.

It will come with practice and experience, YYTT. I will try my best to help you.
