Good vs well

good

Do you know how to use ‘good’ and ‘well’ properly? There are words that we use in any conversation at any level and every day!

well‘, is an adverb so describes verbs
good‘ is an adjective so describes nouns

That was a good presentation. They came up with good ideas. Our team is very good.

They know their client well. They develop those ideas well. The business is doing well.

Note:
We can use WELL with the verbs ‘To feel’, ‘to be’ or ‘to look’ or ‘to hear’. Here ‘well’ refers to your health.

I feel very well after my operation. She is well now. He looks well for his age. I can hear well.
We can use GOOD with the verbs ‘To feel’, ‘to be’, ‘to taste’, ‘to sound’, ‘to smell’ or ‘to look’. Here ‘good’ refers to your general feeling about something, being or appearance.

I’m good thanks. Her dress looks good. The food tasks good. That song sounds good. The beer smells good.

Well can be used with past-participles to make an adjective E.g. well-educated, well-known…

Remember: Feel well and be good!

Nice!

giphy

Nice is a very common adjective in English but, what other words can you use to express something nice or to say something nice about someone?

amiable   charming   considerate    cordial    courteous   

delightful      friendly     gracious        kind         lovely     pleasant

                                                                  fine and dandy

But be careful because you can use some of these to describe things and some to describe people. And also a cultural difference often, is that in British English, it is not common to over exaggerate so be careful!

Examples:

What a charming, considerate person

It’s a lovely, pleasant day

My mother is so gracious and kind

He is an amiable, courteous boss

I had a delightful day

I’m feeling fine and dandy today
