What is wrong with this sentence, "Skilled in using basic test equipment, Oscilloscopes, and Spectrum Analyzers."
  

Top answer

What's wrong is that it's not a sentence; it's a phrase. A sentence is traditionally defined as a word or group of words that expresses a complete idea and that includes a subject and a verb.

It is not a sentence. It looks like a line from a resume or CV, and it is OK for that if you lose some capital letters: Skilled in using basic test equipment, oscilloscopes, and spectrum analyzers.

The capital letters were used to identify the nouns. You would still have to lose the capitalization enoon?

enoon, I have another question, if you dont mind me asking. Why do we get rid of the capitalization, if Im trying to identify nouns in the phrase? Thanks again.

We don't use capital letters for that in English. We used to, a long time ago, but not any more.
