"나는 잘 못 싸우어요 or 나는 싸우를 잘 못 해요"
I'm learning how to say to be good/bad at something, I understand how to use verbs that end in 하다 but for words that end in 다 do you just put 잘 or 못 in front of the verb? The sentence in the title is suppose to say "I'm not good at fighting" which one would be correct? Thanks.

Question

Answer

싸우다 - verb ('-다' is a ending of making a basic verb form)
잘 is an adverb meaning "well"
못 is an adverb to make a negation.
싸움 is a noun from 싸우다
하다 means "do"
Adverbs are usually before verbs.

나는 잘 못 싸워요.
나는 싸움을 잘 못 해요.

Answer

I'm good at fighting. - 저는 잘 싸워요.
I'm not good at fighting. - 저는 못 싸워요. or 저는 싸우지 못 해요.

You can just put 잘 or 못 before the verb. For 못, you can also do 지 못 하다. ^^
