At or in?
We say :
He is weak at English
Or
He is weak in English
And what is the rule if there is any?
Thanks in advance

Hi Bachir,
“Weak in” English (as a subject of study like history or science), but “bad at” English (as in the language skills of listening, writing, etc).

He is weak at Maths.
He is weak at sports.
His English is weak. It sounds odd to say "he is weak in OR at English.' But for any other subject, we say, 'he is weak at...'
However, we do say: 'He is weak in this area. He is weak in some subjects.'
