本领, 本事 and 能力
běnlǐng, běnshì and nénglì
These three words all mean "skill and ability" and are usually taken as the object of 有 or 没有; sometimes the three are interchangeable.
(1) 他是一个很有本事（能力/本领）的人。
When using 本领 and 本事, it's commonplace to say 本领大 or 本事大 ("very capable"), but 能力强，能力弱, 能力不够 are can also be used instead. Also, 能力 emphasizes knowledge and skill, while 本事 and 本领 emphasizes knack.
(2) 他觉得自己能力不够，所以决心磨练自己。
(3) 没有良好的品德，本事（本领）再大也没有用。
本领 also refers to "artistry, skill, martial art", etc., For example: 使出看家本领 (to use all of one's resources), 本领高强 (to be very capable), etc. 本事 can also be used, but not 能力.
三个词都表示能胜任某事的只是、技能、条件等。常与“有”或“没有”搭配。这三个词有时候可以通用。
“本领”和“本事”常说“本领大”、“本事大”，而“能力”则说“能力强”、“能力弱”、“能力不够”等等。“能力”侧重于知识技能等，“本事”、“本领 ”“有时侧重于做事的方法、诀窍等。
“本领”还指技艺、技术、武功等，如“使出看家本领”、“本领高强”等。这个意义也可以用“本事”，但不宜用“能力”。
