用法筆記

Almost always used before a noun (attributive) or after a linking verb such as 'be' / 'become'. Subject is usually a person, occasionally a piece of work (e.g. 'an accomplished novel'). The praise feels stronger and more formal than 'good at' or 'skilled', so it suits written biographies, reviews, and introductions more than casual chat.
