At/in

Sir,

I am not good at drawing /in drawing.

I am not good in English or at English.

When should we use at ,and when 'in' in such cases.


---------------------------------------------------

At/in used for places.

1.He was appointed as a teacher at Presidency college at Kolkatta.

2.He was appointed as a teacher at Presidency college in Kolkatta.

3.I lived in Kolkatta.

4.I lived at Kolkatta.


Which is correct?

Please clear my doubts.

Thanks.

I'm not good at drawing I'm not good at English for places, 2 and 3 are correct, though 4 would be ok if you were talking about the name of a building. g. "I lived at Kolkatta House for a short time", but to use it as you have would be incorrect - the sentence sounds unfinished.

Sir,(CJ)


We say like "she got good marks in English."

We say "she is good at English."

Why not "She is goog in English."

Thanks.
