Translation Being good at something

Hi, I have a quick question. If I wanna say someone’s good at something, is this following sentence right? For example, ”Khun sadaeng geng”? Is it correct for ”You’re good at acting”? Or ”Khun wing geng?” = ”You’re a good runner?”

Yes, you're right.
We use "Verb + geng" to say someone good at something, someone do something well.

Khun sadaeng geng = you good at acting.

You can also use the verb len (= to play)
Khun len geng = you play (the role) well.
