잘하다: TO DO SOMETHING WELL

The main meaning of 잘하다 is "to do something well." To use 잘하다, simply place a noun in a sentence with 잘하다 as the verb.

This is easy to do with 하다 verbs (for example, 수영하다 and 공부하다) because to make a noun all you need to do is remove 하다 from those words. I discuss making non-하다 verbs into nouns later, but the principal is the same for any noun form of a verb. All you need to do is:

나는 (noun form of verb)을/를 잘하다. For example:

나는 수영을 잘해 - I am good at swimming
저 학생은 공부를 잘해 - That student studies well
우리 애기는 말을 잘해요 - Our baby speaks well
