So I was arguing with a person with their sentence “I am good at the writing”. So they said since they were talking about academic things it is correct to use the before “writing”. My stance was you have to include part after “writing” like:
For instance: You can say, I am good at the writing part. But you cannot say, I am good at the writing.
I have never seen this structure before. I used Ludwig to see if I was wrong. And I found this:
- I am good at writing. — Huffington Post
- I'm good at writing about what I'm doing. — The New Yorker
- I'm good at writing fake newspaper reports. — The Guardian-Books
- "I'm good at writing about what I'm doing." he says. — The New Yorker
- I'm a journalist, and I'm good at writing down what happened. — The New York Times
- "I was good at school," she writes. — The New York Times - Books
- I like writing and I'm good at it, so medical writing seems like it might be interesting. — Science Magazine
- They were good at writing, maybe even writing a novel, but they had problem with news. — Huffington Post
So, in the end I am still confused.
