CoCap explains every structure in both languages, because a rule you understand in Hindi is a rule you can use in English.
The sentence Indian-English speakers actually produce, and the reason it is wrong.
| Commonly said | Correct English |
|---|---|
I am happy for helping you. | I am happy to help you. After "happy" the natural form is "to help", not "for helping". |
Easiest first. Every sentence is authored, with the Hindi it comes from.

मैं जाने के लिए तैयार हूँ।
I am ready to learn.
मैं सीखने के लिए तैयार हूँ।
It was good to hear that.
यह सुनना अच्छा लगा।
I am happy to help you.
मैं तुम्हारी मदद करके खुश हूँ।
I am glad to hear that.
मैं यह सुनकर खुश हूँ।
I am not afraid to make mistakes.
मैं गलती करने से नहीं डरता।
I should not be afraid to make mistakes.
मुझे गलती करने से डरना नहीं चाहिए।
Close enough to be mixed up with this one. Knowing the difference is most of knowing either.
Where this structure sits in the ladder, and what surrounds it.
happy to help is a CEFR A2 structure — the everyday band — and it belongs to adjectives & adverbs. CoCap’s syllabus files every structure this way so you can learn in order instead of jumping between whatever a search happened to return.
