  I kept my eyes peeled for signs of pursuit. There was none, unless I was being fooled very good.
- 1972, Harry Chapin (lyrics and music), “A Better Place to Be”, in Sniper and Other Love Songs:

synonym study for good

usage note for good

Good is common as an adverb in informal speech, especially after forms of do: He did good on the test. She sees good with her new glasses. This use does not occur in formal speech or edited writing, where the adverb well is used instead: He did well on the test. She sees well with her new glasses.
The adjective good is standard after linking verbs like taste, smell, look, feel, be, and seem: Everything tastes good. The biscuits smell good. You’re looking good today. When used after look or feel, good may refer to spirits as well as health: I’m feeling pretty good this morning, ready to take on the world. Well is both an adjective and an adverb. As an adjective used after look, feel, or other linking verbs, it often refers to good health: You’re looking well; we missed you while you were in the hospital. See also bad.

Section 1
Well hey there I’m Emma from mmmEnglish! These little but very common words can cause English learners quite a few headaches. They’re very similar in meaning but they’re not used in the same way. It’s easy to confuse them! So this lesson is going to be short and sweet but we are going to get to the bottom of this.

Confusing the words ‘good’ and ‘well’ is a really common English error. Now there are some clear rules that can help you to use them correctly but there are also some exceptions to the rules which probably leave you feeling a little bit confused. The most helpful thing to keep in mind is that ‘good’ is an adjective and ‘well’ is an adverb. They’re two different parts of speech. A quick reminder. Adjectives can modify nouns or tell us more information about a noun. So ‘good’ modifies a noun.

Something can be good.

A good kid.
A good afternoon.
A good night’s sleep.

All of these things.

Now as an adverb, ‘well’ modifies a verb. An action can be done well, right?

She swims well for her age.
We have eaten well.

In both these examples, ‘well’ is modifying the verb. Now, nine times out of ten, most of the time, the question you need to ask yourself is: Am I modifying a noun or an action?

And this will help you to make the correct choice between ‘good’ and ‘well’. Sweet!

But now I have to mention a significant exception to this rule that ‘good’ is the adjective and ‘well’ is the adverb because when you’re talking about health, the quality of someone’s health, ‘well’ can be used as an adjective too.

So if someone is well, it means they’re healthy.

My brother is safe and well.
Is your mother well enough to travel?

All good? ‘Well’ can be an adjective when you’re talking about health.

Okay are you ready for another exception? We can actually use ‘good’ with some non-action verbs like:

(to) be
(to) look
(to) seem
(to) feel

These are stative verbs. So we do that when we’re connecting a subject to an adjective. We can say:

Don’t worry, everything’s good.
This book is good.
the children are good.
I feel good today!
The new office seems good!
The hotel you’re staying in looks so good!

Right? So here we can use ‘good’ with a non-action verb. The last little exception or rule to remember is that ‘good’ can be used with the verb ‘do’ when ‘good’ is a noun, when you’re talking about morally correct behaviour.

Some people volunteer to do good within their local community.

They help others. This is to do good.

Now word order is really important to get these words right in your sentence because they’re different types of words, they are treated differently in our sentence. It’s a really common mistake to say: Sarah plays well football.

The adverb doesn’t usually go between the verb and the object. It goes after the object. Right? It’s something to keep in mind.

Sarah plays football well.

All right, you know that I like to make my lessons practical for you so that you can practise what you’ve learned during the lesson. So are you ready to try it out? First sentence.

You speak English good.

Is it correct?

Correct: You speak English well.

Because we are modifying the verb ‘speak’ here in this sentence.

What about: Your English is well.

Is that right? This word is an adjective. We know because we can see the subject followed by the verb ‘be’ so I guess we could use ‘well’ as an adjective, right? But English is a thing not a person so it doesn’t make sense to say that English is in good health. We need to use ‘good’ here.

Your English is good.

Let’s try another. I want you to fill in the gaps.

I want you to fill in the gaps.

I’m having a _______ day.

Can you guess the correct word here? The adjective or the adverb? Good! We are modifying the noun ‘day’.

I’m having a good day.

But I want you to write a similar sentence with the adverb ‘well’, right? Write it in the comments now. You might need to change the verb in that sentence to help you.

My day is going well.

Now the adverb is modifying the verb, right? Good job!

Did he do _______ on his exam?

Did he do well on his exam?

We’re modifying the verb ‘do’ here.

This rain is ______ for the garden.
This rain is good for the garden.

Her job isn’t _________ for her health.
Her job isn’t good for her health.

Careful! The word that goes in this space is ‘good’. Just because we’re talking about health in the sentence, doesn’t mean we need to use ‘well’.

You spoke ______ at the conference.

‘good’ or ‘well’?

You spoke well at the conference.

I saw Jeremy last night. He looked __________.

Well here we could actually use the adjective ‘good’ or the adjective ‘well’. Both are possible but the meaning is different, right? Think about the difference in the meaning. ‘Well’ means that he looked healthy. ‘Good’ means that he was pleasant to look at – handsome!

I saw Jeremy last night. He looked good/well.

What about if I said: How are you?

How would you answer that question? Would you say: I am good or I am well?

It depends! Again, you could say either. You could use either adjective but the meaning is slightly different.

I want to finish up today’s lesson with a fixed expression that seems to challenge these rules a little.

This one: (to) get (someone) good which means to trick someone or to fool them so anyone who tricked their friend on April Fool’s Day can say: I really got him good which means you tricked him.

I also want to mention before we finish, that in informal spoken English, you’ll hear native English speakers bending the rules a little. You’ll hear them use ‘good’ as an adverb.

How’s Tony?
He’s going good!

Now this is not actually grammatically correct but it’s reasonably common and I really recommend that for you guys, you stick to the rules. Play by the rules, especially if you are studying English to sit an exam. So in that sense, this is incorrect but you’ll hear it all the time.

So that’s it for today’s lesson, I told you it was going to be short and sweet. And I hope it was helpful as well. There are lots of pairs of words like this in English, words that have similar meanings but they’re used differently in sentences. Can you think of any others? If you want me to make a lesson about any more of these pairs of words, then make sure you tell me about it in the comments. Tell me what pairs of words you want me to make a lesson about.

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.”
