Good

[Tdol]

Sadly, no. It's a very complex area where exceptions are as common as rules.

"At" is correct, but "in" is also a proper choice. :wink:

In British English, we don't use 'in' here much at all.

I voted for 'in' but I'm following British rules in English.I'm not sure why we should not use 'in'.I want a clear explanation at this area.

Thanks.

Is this correct?

1. He is good in English. - refers to the subject English, meaning 'He scores good marks'
2. He is good at English. - refers to the language, meaning 'He uses English well'

He's good in English [class] to me says that he behaves well in English class, not that he makes good grades/marks. (As opposed to, "He does good in English", which to me means that he gets good grades/marks.)

He's good at English says to me that he understands the language, OR that he's good at the class (and in English we don't always study English . . . a lot of times we're analyzing poetry or books), so it could also be that he's good at analyzing.

Of course, these meanings are probably going to change on a person-to-peron basis, especially if you compare American and British English.

I think we use:

He's good in english (informal)

He's good at english (formal)

I'm interested in your comments.
