good / well
Good is an adjective; it describes nouns:
That's a good idea!
The food at that restaurant is really good.
Well is an adverb; it describes verbs:
She performed well in the competition.
She performed good
I know him well; we've been friends for years.
Use good before the noun (good idea) or after a form of the verb "to be" (the food is
good; the drinks are good; the party was good).
Use well after the verb - He sings well, they dance well, I didn't sleep very well.
There is one exception - when somebody asks "How are you?" native English
speakers often say "Good!" or "I'm good!" Although this is not technically correct, it
is much more common to say "I'm good" than "I'm well" in response to this
question.
