I'm an Australian living in Kansai, Japan, teaching English at university. I want to get more practice speaking Japanese, for situations (talking on the phone making bookings etc), and more complex general conversation. I have passed the JLPT N2 test, but only scraped by the grammar section! btw I've made a website with games for Japanese study! Check it out: www.kanjigames.com

    This is not a very common expression - sometimes they will deliberately use old-fashioned sounding dialogue in that series, so I wouldn't recommend it for studying English for the purpose of communication.

    I think both are fine - it would be natural to hear a native speaker say either one of these.

    But you should say "Which one is correct?".

    The correct form for a statement would be: The photocopier is being used at the moment. The correct form for a question would be: Is the photocopier being used at the moment?

    Great article - knowing the radicals is so useful for memorizing, recognizing and distinguishing kanji!

    One fun way to get practice paying attention to the radicals is with the Kanji Crush online/mobile game at www.kanjigames.com  - try it out!

    Cheers,
