Which one is correct?
|

Hi,
Can you tell me which sentence is correct or what we should say?
I am good at computer skills.
Or
I am good with computer skills?
Thank you |

When you talk about things that are your expertise you have to use "good at", whilst "good with" is used for objects or people: Some examples: I am good at Maths; I am good at learning languages; I am good at taking care of children... BUT:
I am good with children; I am good with numbers; I am good with languages... Hope it helps you! Aisha ;) EDIT: hehe! I forgot to tell you the answer, it is "I am good at computer skills" (as it is your expertise)

Hi Pretty, Aisha is correct. However, I can�t imagine anyone saying �I�m good at computer skills�, you would say �I have good computer skills�. You can say �I am good at Computer Studies� (school subject) or �I�m good with computers�. Anyway, if that is your only choice, go with Aisha�s answer. Lyne |

Yes, Lyne (or Lynne, as she used to be known) is right, because the word "skills" means things you are good at, so you never say you are good at skills. Bruce |

Hi, It�s neither of them. The best option would probably be : My computer skills are good. You could also say I am good with computers or I am good at using computers |

Maybe it depends on the region. "I�m good at computer skills" sounds OK to me. |

You need to remove the word �skills�. So it�s - I am good with computers.
If you want to use the word skills, say �My computer skills are good.� 😊 |
