Which English?
I find it really easy to tell people who are native german speakers, based on learning german for years, and having had grammar drilled into me. I dont think there's been a time when I've picked up on it, and been wrong

Hm, curious. What would be tell-tale signs of a native German speaker? :)

I've noticed some Germans tend to mix up the present perfect and the infinitive, since they are the same in German.
For example, "I eat" vs "I'm eating" vs "I'm going to eat".

Online they often combine two-word compound nouns into one word.
