CliveIf it's a student evaluation by a teacher, say 'in'.
If it isn't, what should I say?
Here is the paragraph:
My son is a secondary school (0) student. He goes to school five days a (1) week and studies many subjects at school. Last week I went (2) to an end-of-semester meeting with his form-teacher and sh
Its answer is on. I don't find any result "work (well/ excellent/...) in subject" in Google Search. Actually, I don't know that when a student is evaluated by a teacher, use "in" or something else. I only know the preposition going with "subject" is "on".
You mean "to be good in something"?? I only know the form: ...........to be good at something. And in Google, there is no "good in math'' (only "good at math", and it is considered to be the right form) You can check again.
I don't know why you can find those titles. I searched, but there is only bout 526,000,000 results (0.24 seconds) And no "good in math". But that's fine, If it isn't wrong. I read the links you posted and there seems to be difference between "good at" and "good in".
I would say "He is good at math" rather than "good in math" if I were talking about his ability to do arithmetic, although I might say "He is doing good (or "well") in math" if I were talking about his progress in math class this year. I see the logic of using "on" in the original post context here. A teacher might well say "He must work on his reading."
