Good is an adjective while well is an adverb answering the question how. Sometimes well also functions as an adjective pertaining to health.
Examples:
You did a good job.
Good describes job, which is a noun, so good is an adjective.
You did the job well.
Well is an adverb describing how the job was performed.
I feel well.
Well is an adjective describing I.
Good vs. Well Rules
Rule: With the four senses—look, smell, taste, feel—discern if these words are being used actively to decide whether to follow them with good or well. (Hear is always used actively.)
Examples:
You smell good today.
Good describes you, not how you sniff with your nose.You smell well for someone with a cold.
You are sniffing actively with your nose here so use the adverb.She looks good for a 75-year-old grandmother.
She is not looking actively with eyes so use the adjective.
Rule: When referring to health, always use well.
Examples:
I do not feel well today.
You do not look well.
Rule: When describing someone’s emotional state, use good.
Example: He doesn’t feel good about having cheated.
So, how should you answer the question, “How are you?” If you think someone is asking about your physical well-being, answer, “I feel well,” or “I don’t feel well.” If someone is asking about your emotional state, answer, “I feel good,” or “I don’t feel good.”

Ответы:
- 2) well
- 3) heavily
- 4) carefully
- 5) quietly
- 6) badly
- 7) loudly
Пояснения:
Слова подбираем по смыслу, после чего образуем наречия.
2) I’m very pleased. I played football well. (прилагательное good)
- Наречие, образованное от прилагательного good, относится к исключениям: good — well.
3) We got wet. It was raining heavily. (прилагательное heavy)
- Heavy оканчивается на -y => при образовании наречия -y меняется на -i и добавляется -ly: heavy — heavily.
4) The ice was dangerous. We walked carefully. (прилагательное careful)
- Careful не оканчивается на -le либо -y, а также не относится к исключениям => при образовании наречия добавляется -ly: careful — carefully.
5) People were asleep. We talked quietly. (прилагательное quiet)
- Quiet не оканчивается на -le либо -y, а также не относится к исключениям => при образовании наречия добавляется -ly: quiet — quietly.
6) He got a low mark for his homework. He did it badly. (прилагательное bad)
- Bad не оканчивается на -le либо -y, а также не относится к исключениям => при образовании наречия добавляется -ly: bad — badly.
7) We could hear her from the next room. She sang loudly. (прилагательное loud)
- Loud не оканчивается на -le либо -y, а также не относится к исключениям => при образовании наречия добавляется -ly: loud — loudly.
Теория:
Большая часть наречий образуется с помощью добавления суффикса -ly, но:
1) Если прилагательное оканчивается на -y, -y изменяется на -i, и после этого добавляется -ly.
- Например, easy — easily, heavy — heavily.
2) Если прилагательное оканчивается на -le, -le изменяется на «-ly».
- Например, simple — simply.
3) Существуют исключения. В основном это наречия, отвечающие на вопросы «когда?», «сколько?», «где?».
- Например, late — late, fast — fast, good — well.
