Hello everybody.
In the book "English File" by Christina Latham-Koenig and Clive Oxenden, I read these sentences:
"Is your car being repaired today?"
"Many buildings in the city have been damaged by the earthquake".
Why in the first sentence we have "is...being repaired" instead of "has...been repaired" as in the second one?
And, on the other hand, why in the second sentence we have "have been damaged" instead of "are being damaged"?
