00 The Collins Cobuild Compact English Learner's Dictionary had these definitions and sample sentences for the word 'skill', which I believe is a variable noun. 02 br
02 br
00 N-C A skill is a type of activity or work which requires special training or knowledge. 01 i 00 We need to focus on the basic skills of literacy and numeracy. 02 i 02 br
02 br
00 N-U Skill is the knowledge and ability that enables you to do something well. 01 i 00 I tried fishing but had no skill and no luck. 02 i 02 br

00 Can you tell me how to tell which goes with which? It seems it is hard to know the difference. 0-
