Help with Simple Sentences

I've been trying really hard to improve my writing. However, it has proven to be very difficult for me. I've realized that I need help. For example, I am having problem with punctuation and formation. For example, "Are you returning the movie, so they don't charge you a late fee?" The first part is a question, but the second part is a statement. Should I add a "?" at the end or a period. Also, I have said things like "I only have $5 dollars; we can eat it." I did not realize it until someone asked me "How can you eat $5?" So, you can tell that I need help. When I am having problem with my sentence, I will post them in this website and ask for help.
I am still not sure about his sentence. "Are you returning the movie, so they don't charge you a late fee?"
