You told me about it being a run-on sentence, for which I thank you.
(What I mean: You taught me that it was a run-on sentence and I thank you for that.)
Apparently I will have to badger you with grammar questions until my English is good enough to finish my book with. You can choose to ignore of course, in which case I will have to find help elsewhere. No one and nothing can prevent me from mastering this language. When I decide on something, It's done.
Thanks.

Please stay helpful.
But did you see the "pronoun + present participle" structure?
It's unbelievable you being so helpful= It's unbelievable your being so helpful. (using gerund instead)

If your goal is to be grammatically correct then that sentence should end with 'book'. The 'with' at the end causes the sentence to be confusing and it ends a sentence with a preposition. Grammatically correct sentences never end with prepositions. In casual conversation nobody but a complete asshat should give you grief, but you did ask about correct grammar.

Yes that seems fine to me! But as I said, a better place for your questions is www.wordreference.com/forums

That site seems to be a dictionary collection and what i need is not counselling dictionary but living human beings like those affectionate and supportive here providing invaluable instructions and suggestions. Please don't consider my language posts to be off topic because I improve my English to discuss religious questions with everybody here. (any errors?)

Yet if you sign up, there is a forum on it where you can have your questions answered!. Please
don't consider my language posts to be off topic because
I want to
improve my English to discuss religious questions with everybody here. (any errors?)
I don't consider then 'off-topic', it's just that the people at WRF are likelier to be friendlier and more helpful, as that's their purpose there.
(I suggest adding the words in red to improve your sentence)
This is where you should try:

I tried many times to get signup. But the reCAPTCHA doesn't load and I couldn't submit the registration form. They have some technical issues on this site.
