V dictionary form + のが 好きです / 上手です (V jishokei + no ga suki desu / jouzu desu) — Like doing / be good at doing
When you talk about what you like or are good at, it is が, not は.
Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)
Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)
好き・嫌い・上手・下手 talk about what you like or how skilled you are, and that thing is marked with が. So with a verb you get 「V dictionary form + のが」— 歌を 歌うのが 好きです, 料理を 作るのが 上手です. It must be のが here, not のは. The object inside still takes を, so one sentence can hold both を and のが. Use 上手です and 下手です about other people; about yourself it sounds boastful, so say 好きです or あまり 上手じゃ ありません instead.
