How to use "Skilled" in context?
Skilled refers to someone who is specially trained or experienced in a certain skill or profession. Many people assume that anyone who can do something quickly and easily is skilled, but that's not always the case. For example, a plumber who can fix a leaky faucet in minutes using only a screwdriver is skilled, but a plumber who has years of experience and can correctly diagnose and fix a broken pipes is more skilled.
In most cases, it's necessary to have some skill in order to be successful.
