CoCap explains every structure in both languages, because a rule you understand in Hindi is a rule you can use in English.

| Commonly said | Correct English |
|---|---|

Where this structure sits in the ladder, and what surrounds it.
What a day! How lovely! is a CEFR B1 structure — the independent band — and it belongs to sentence types. CoCap’s syllabus files every structure this way so you can learn in order instead of jumping between whatever a search happened to return.
