Good At / Bad At

Use good at and bad at to talk about skills. After at, use a noun or a verb + -ing.

I am good at English.

She is good at drawing.

He is bad at football.

They are good at swimming.

Always say "good/bad at + something." The verb after "at" takes -ing: good at cooking.

Common mistake: Using "in" or "than": say "good at maths," not "good in maths."

✏️ Test Yourself

1. I am good ___ maths.

2. She is good at ___ (cook).

3. He is bad ___ singing.

4. They are good at ___ (swim).
