Read out loud. Often times you can catch mistakes that you otherwise would overlook. And you'll notice sentences that sound weird or are way too wordy or too long. Since your paper is due tomorrow, it will be hard to learn grammar, structure, etc. by then. I'm not sure if it's permitted, but if it is, you would likely benefit from a grammarly subscription. It's definitely helpful. In terms of long-term planning for the next writing assignment, there are tons of websites that can help you with grammar, structure, syntax, etc. This grammar book is a good reference. Good luck!
You should invest in a grammar book. This book here seems to be pretty decent. Additionally, you may want to get Grammarly; pm me if you are interested in that. Also, be sure to check out /r/grammar. That is a really good sub for learning grammar rules for specific cases that you don't know
I think it mainly is just a "vernacular" thing. Seeing as you speak french, the whole structure and "subject, verb, object" positioning in different.
I learned more about how unorthodox and unstructured our language is once I started studying another language. To be frank, not much makes sense. We have some rules (Like "'i' before 'e' except after c" but that rule only applies to like 10 words. The rest of them just ignore this rule all together).
Another thing I have noticed is that American English is full of phrases and sayings that structurally don't make sense. Plus there is so much room for slang too.
Honestly your english sounds fine and I was able to interpret it easily enough. I personally believe that as long as you have the Subject, Verb, and Object; any native english speaker will understand you. Professionally I don't think it would look good but in a general discussion you're fine.

Here is a great english grammar book that definitely will help you improve. I mean honestly this book is a little difficult for native speakers who don't really understand much about sentence structure as well.
Don't feel like an idiot. Being able to communicate in 2 langauges is impressive enough, no matter how odd some of your sentences may be. I think something that would really help is if you were able to actually talk to english speakers all the time. You'll learn phrases and words you've never heard of before.
I worked with a Slovenian woman once at a hotel. She had a Masters degree in some kind of engineering, and knew how to speak english. Her english was somewhat broken but I think her slavic accent hid her errors she'd say.
I think a major kicker is that we don't have genders in our language. Nothing is gender oriented which I think can be really confusing for gender oriented languages.
I just bought this for under $10 its small and convient to take with me anywhere.
