Thanks Julia,
I was sure about " to be good at" but I had doubts about "brilliant" or "clever"...

to be particularly brilliant/ clever at doing in doing
to do
or what?
at doing - a hobby of something (he �s clever at doing maths) in doing - a decision that helped him achieve something (he was clever in deciding to open that business) to do - similar in ways to in doing (you �re brilliant to think of using that sized brush) �I �ve missed a lot of examples, but you get the point of some of the meanings.
