Which is correct, ‘an English’ or ‘a English’?
‘An English’ is correct, as in ‘an English country garden.’Generally ‘a’ changes to ‘an’ before a vowel in order to preserve the rhythm of the spoken language. There are a few exceptions where the word starting with a vowel has a sound equivalent to a non-vowel sound, for example ‘a ukulele’ where the first ‘u’ is pronounced as a ‘y.’ Similarly one would say ‘an x-ray’ because the ‘x’ is pronounced as ‘ex.’ Using ‘a’ instead of ‘an’ would not in any way change the meaning and would still be understood but sound awkward when spoken as the combination of sounds do not flow naturally. Other languages have similar exceptions, such as the use of ‘el agua’ in Spanish although technically ‘agua’ is a feminine noun and the use of ‘la’ rather than ‘el’ would be expected. Indeed the plural form reverts to ‘las aguas’ as the stress is different. Ultimately it is all down to preserving the flow in the spoken language.

How do I know that the English I am speak in is correct?
Your question is in incorrect english. Here I'm the judge, I can let you know by my experience.How did I gain this experience now?For thirteen years, I've been reading, writing, listening to and speaking english expressions. Whenever I've been wrong, somebody more experienced than me has pointed it out and so have I learnt and experienced. I've accepted my mistakes and corrected them. I've been open to knowing and learning more about the language. Besides, whenever in doubt, I've translated english expressions to my colloquial language and vice-versa. This was more true when I was practically inexperienced.But the gist of my answer is 'you can know that the English you speak in is correct' by experience, yours or of somebody more experienced.

Where can i have my english grammer corrected ?
Yup. There are beta-readers, which actually correct things you write (mainly fan-fiction, and original stories). I'm from South America and I've found that when you're learning English the best way to improve your vocabulary is by reading in English. I recommend reading novels or something along those lines, because the vocabulary is much more extense than say a newspaper, or an essay, in which you only get one type of vocab which is more formal and whatnot. You might want to start by reading children's or Young adult's book, if reading in English doesn't come easily to you. Try something like Harry Potter, or look for books by Diana Wynne Jones ("Howl's Moving Castle" and the "Chrestomanci series"), another great Young adult/Children's book author. An easy way to improve your grammar is by writing (and then asking a beta-reader or an English teacher or someone who speaks/write English fluently to correct it and point out what you did wrong) If you want something online, which will TEACH you rather than help you improve, go to this site I found : http://www.edufind.com/english/grammar/ Hope this helps!
Is the word "persons" correct in English?
You can say "persons," but it's usually more for technical language. Like if you were on an elevator or something, you might see a sign that says, "Maximum occupancy: 5 persons." Usually, though, we don't say it in everyday conversation. Generally, for everyday, informal conversation, we say "people" as the plural for "person." Not to confuse you at this point in your studies, but "people" can also be pluralized to "peoples" when referring to more than one separate groups of people. For example: Various indigenous peoples have lived in this area. Again, I don't want to confuse you, just look out for that, as well. By the way, your English sounds very good to me, but if you want someone to practice with, you can contact me. Estoy aprendiendo español y siempre ando buscando amigos con quienes puedo practicarlo. :)
Which statement is correct: your English is very bad or your English is worse?
Both statements are correct, however their usage depends on the situation in which they are being used! As Swarnadeep Bhattacharyya already said one is declarative and other is comparative. When you declare (no comparison involved) you can use "very bad", although when you are comparing with someone else's, you will use "worse".Hope this helps!
