Is it correct grammar to say mommy and me?
It depends on the sentence. Always take out the "mommy" and see how the sentence sounds. For example: "There was a nice dinner awaiting mommy and me when we arrived". Change it to "There was a nice dinner awaiting me when I arrived" That is correct. Now try this: " Mommy and me went to the movies". Again, take out "mommy". It becomes "Me went to the movies", which is wrong.

Why should people study subject and verb agreement?
It probably isn't necessary in your own language, except to refine your use of subjects and verbs in tricky situations. (What you need is paper and pens.) (The subject and verb seem to disagree in this case; the subject is "what you need" which is singular.)
It is possibly necessary to study subject/verb agreement in a new language. Other languages might be more complicated than your own language as far as subject/verb agreement goes. For example, in English we say: I see, you see, we see, they see, she sees, he sees, it sees. There are only two forms of the verb "see." In German they say, Ich sehe, du siehst, er sieht, sie sieht, es sieht, wir sehen, Sie sehen, ihr seht, sie sehen. (I did not give you these in the same order as the English.) Notice that the verb changes more than it does in English. So a non-German speaker would have to study these forms in order to get them right.
It seems like your sentence is missing a subject. If you can provide more context or an example, I'd be happy to help you with the grammar.

How can use supple in a sentence?
She had been practicing her fittness program, and her legs and arms became very supple.
Is the sentence you are still waiting for advise grammatically correct?
No. The sentence - You are still waiting for 'advice.' - is spelled with a 'c.'
'Advise,' pronounced (ad-vYz/rhymes with eyes) is a verb, meaning 'to counsel' or 'to suggest a plan of action.'
'Advice,' pronounced (ad-vice/vice like ice - frozen water) is a noun, and its the result, the actual information transmitted in the advisement process.
Pretty confusing. Just remember these sentences: I advise, you take my advice. You advise, and I'll take your advice.
"Ih" is not a recognized word in the English language. It may be a typing error or abbreviation.
