Help me differentiate " A short way", "A short cut", "A short road", "A short line"
What do they mean?
Please help me.
I really need it.

No
Try looking it up in a dictionary. You could try here: OneLook Dictionary Search
The only one that is an idiom, with meaning on its own, is "short cut."
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
You need to appreciate that there is a strong implication in those words that you feel that it might well not be true. This would be impolite to anybody who genuinely tried to help you; it is even more so when addressed to a very experienced and highly respected member of the forum who has given thousands of accurate, helpful responses.
