1-Under someone's spell means that you're talking instead of somebody and you're using the words he just said about that issue .

2-"Great talkers are little doers."means that who're speaking a lot don't do as they speak"easier to be said than done".

3-We just can't replace "must not" with "don't have to" because the second one is not as necessary as the first one.must is more necessary than have to.

4-We use articles beside nouns or to describe something but it has to be singular.
We use the article "a" with nouns starts with a consonant letter.
and we use "an" with nouns starts with vowels.
And we don't use any article with plural nouns.

5- it's easy "incorrectly".

I need to put a little changes on the answer number four

4-We use articles to talk about things:

We use the article "a" with:
1. General things.
2. Not everyone know what you're talking about.
And the objects' names or things' names start with consonant.
For the article "an" we use it in the same way as "a" but with objects' names start with a vowel.
We use the article "the" with:
1.Singular specific thinngs.
2.Everyone knows what you are talking about.

the example of the first question is:
Liar!,don't talk under your boss's spell.You haven't heard what he said about this issue!.
