[00:00:00]A quick question. Would you say I'm good in cooking or I'm good at cooking? Well, that confuses you, right? Let's solve this confusion in 30 seconds. Good at.

He's good at maths. They are good at playing football. So, good at talks about someone's ability or skill to do something. Now, good in. We use good in when we are talking about a situation, a setting, or a condition where someone performs well. It answers the question, "In what situation did you perform well?" For example, she's good in the kitchen. He's good in crisis. It means he handles crisis pretty well. She's good in interviews. It means she can handle stress well. Now, can you try?
