Good is an adjective (a word that
describes nouns). Well is usually an adverb (a
word used to describe verbs).
• Neil, who is notorious for his good
behavior, has never shoplifted.
• Brian hides his anger very well.
People often use good when they should
use well, especially in speech. Remember,
do not use good to describe verbs.
• Shandron did well on that pop quiz.
Note that you can use well as an adjective
when you’re describing how healthy someone feels or looks.
• Despite her pasty appearance, Thea
insisted that she felt well.
