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.

Where this structure sits in the ladder, and what surrounds it.
Reflexive (myself) is a CEFR B1 structure — the independent band — and it belongs to pronouns. CoCap’s syllabus files every structure this way so you can learn in order instead of jumping between whatever a search happened to return.
