Hello shashaa, and welcome to the forum.
Although there are some basic rules for it, the use of prepositions in English is often idiomatic, and it can be difficult to master. Practice is the answer. The more you practice (especially reading and listening), the easier you'll find the use of prepositions.

If you want a decent grammar, I would always recommend Michael Swan's Practical English Usage, which combines both grammar and usage. Prepositions are, however, a very complex area in English because we use them in so many ways- not just location, but also things like phrasal verbs.

Learn the basics first.

Focus on the most common and literal uses of prepositions of space, and learn them as part of preposition phrases, like on the floor, on the wall, under the chair, next to the bed, etcetera.

There are plenty of online and printed multi-level resources that can help you do this.

What about 'I always make grammatical mistakes'? 'I always use the wrong grammar' seems/sounds a purposeful act to make grammatical mistakes.

Your proposal is good.

"Always" means "100% of the time one makes mistakes".
Are you sure? ;-)

I always make grammatical mistakes, but I hope, one day, I will improve my English language and then write/speak proper English.

It is. The 2nd greatly expanded the book, so anything after the 2nd is worth having if you're buying second-hand.
