What skills do you have?

Are you a passionate swimmer? 🏊‍♀️
Do you know how to juggle? 🤹‍♀️
Can you play a musical instrument? 🎺

When we talk about having a skill, we often use a positive adjective + ‘at’.

e.g. ‘I’m pretty good at playing the piano.’

Equally, if we don’t have a skill, we can use a negative adjective + ‘at’.

e.g. ‘I’m terrible at bowling.’
