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."
