English is a tricky language, good on you for attempting to master it - you can write better in English than I can in any other language!

I hope you don't mind me providing some feedback on your writing!

"I am trying to fix my spellings and grammar." - We generally say "spelling and grammar", even though "spellings" is technically correct - when people say they want to improve their spelling, they generally talk about a skill rather than individual spellings.

"It been going on for a month now." - It (has) been going on for a month now - although this could have easily been a typo.

Best wishes on your endeavour.

"It has been going on for a month now." can also be said, using a contraction, as "It's been going on for a month now." which possibly could've easily led to your mistake.
