<p>I've always been a bit confused about the order of using 有能力 and I'm hoping someone can clarify. Do people say "有能力 <code>do something</code>" or "有 <code>do something</code> 的能力"?</p>

<p>For example, could I say "他没有能力写代码？” </p>

<usage><syntax>
Do people say 有能力 <do something> or 有 <do something> 的能力
# Do people say 有能力 <do something> or 有 <do something> 的能力

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-07-23)

I've always been a bit confused about the order of using 有能力 and I'm hoping someone can clarify. Do people say "有能力 `do something`" or "有 `do something` 的能力"?

For example, could I say "他没有能力写代码？”

**Tags:** usage, syntax
