The shape

Say something is being done right now.
In Hindi

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 |
|---|---|

Where this structure sits in the ladder, and what surrounds it.
Continuous passive is a CEFR B2 structure — the confident band — and it belongs to passive voice. CoCap’s syllabus files every structure this way so you can learn in order instead of jumping between whatever a search happened to return.
