I'm definitely poor at English and I always have grammatical errors.
After posting a question about what apps can I use to start writing my stories, I searched in this site if how can I improve my grammar, and I came across to this link.
English is not really my first language, but I'm desperate to write an English story. But the only problem is, I'm not really so good at English, but that doesn't mean I gave up on my goal. I still want to write an English science-fiction book, but I'm having issues with my grammar.
Is there something you can recommend me of how can I improve my grammar? Especially that I'm prone to grammatical errors, I still want to find something that can help me without so much cost. You can even recommend to me if there's a software or app that I can use? Thank you for the help.

In person would be great if you can find a class, or a person willing to help you. Do not neglect to consider auditing a class. This is much cheaper than enrolling.
A community college Writing Center would a great place to hang out and get help.
At the university in my town, there is a program for matching people up in language pairing. For example, if you speak Farsi, you can help someone learning Farsi to practice, and that person would help you with your English. If there is no program like this where you live, you can put up notices on bulletin boards, especially the public library.
Do not neglect the option of free or low-cost English classes for English as a Second Language.
You could try your local Literacy Volunteers organization as well.
if you want remote interaction, English Language Learners StackExchange is the place for you.

Sorry, there is no magical app or button or program which will fix your grammar. If you want to learn how to write better, in any language, the only solution is to practice, have your mistakes corrected by someone else, and then practice some more. Any computerized solution which fixes your mistakes is only feeding you fish — it's not teaching you how to fish for yourself.
