Yes, prepositions in English are difficult, complicated. Many times, students wonder if they are using the right preposition.
Here we have a special case: Adjectives +AT something
Maybe you are good at something, even if you are not trained to do it, because you have a natural ability:
- I'm good AT maths.
- Mary is very good AT English
Maybe you are not good at something such as a job or a game because of a lack of skill:
- Paul ans I are bad AT football. But Messi is excellent at it!
Perhaps someone is lucky...
- They are lucky AT gambling.
To be + ADJECTIVE + AT + something
What about you? What are you good/bad at?
Welcome!
