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 ([image source][1]) So, in the end I am still confused.
