CoCap
Modals · CEFR B2 · Confident
A modal and a passive together. Extremely common at work, where the instruction matters and the person does not.
The shape
must / should / can + be + third form
Say what has to be done without saying who does it.
In Hindi
modal और passive साथ में। दफ़्तर में बहुत आम, जहाँ काम मायने रखता है, करने वाला नहीं।
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 |
|---|---|
The form must be fill today. | The form must be filled today. After "be" the verb takes its third form. |
These come first. The rest of this makes more sense once they are automatic.
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.
should be done is a CEFR B2 structure — the confident band — and it belongs to modals. CoCap’s syllabus files every structure this way so you can learn in order instead of jumping between whatever a search happened to return.
