Hi ! Here are my translation in English from French (in brackets). Can you say to me what my mistakes are ? Thank you !!

1. I dread that they have to say to us one day : « you are laid off ».
(Je redoute qu'ils ne doivent nous dire un jour :"vous êtes licenciés".)

2 She often complains of her husband to be unfaithful to her.
(Elle se plaint souvent de ce que son mari la trompe.)

3 I do not tolerate that they waste so much money on the horse racing.
(Je ne tolère pas qu'ils gaspillent autant d'argent aux courses.)

4 You can’t be surprised that she doesn’t want to marry a man who could be her grandfather.
(Vous ne pouvez pas vous étonner qu'elle refuse d'épouser un homme qui pourrait être son grand-père.)

5 You will soon get used of your colleague to being jealous of you.
(Vous vous habituerez vite à ce que vos collègues vous jalousent.)

I don't speak French, so these aren't translations from your original French sentences, just corrections of the English translations you gave.

1. I'm afraid that one day they will tell us, "You are laid off."
2. She often complains that her husband is unfaithful to her.
3. I hate that they waste so much money on horse racing.
4. It's not surprising that she doesn't want to marry a man who is old enough to be her grandfather.
5. You will get used to your colleague's jealousy of you soon.

1.- I am afraid they will have to tell us we are laid off one day.
2.-She often complains that her husband is unfaithful.
3- It is intolerable how much they waste on horse racing.
4-{correct the way it is}
5- You will soon get used to your colleagues being jealous of you.

By the way, your question should be:

Can you help me correct these sentences? Thank you.
