πŸ’‘ The 'Skill' Pattern

In this story, we see how to describe what people are good at. This is a key A2 skill for talking about jobs.

The Pattern: Person + is + good at + Action-ing

Example from text: "He is good at stopping illegal drugs."

How it works: When you use 'good at', the next word usually needs an -ing ending.

  • He is good at stopping... β†’\rightarrow (Correct)
  • He is good at stop... β†’\rightarrow (Wrong)

Try these simple swaps:

  • She is good at nursing.
  • They are good at making rules.
  • I am good at learning English.
