- Learn GOOD vs WELL in this English grammar lesson. Are these adjectives or adverbs and how can you know when to use each word? In this quick lesson on commonly confused words in English, I'll teach you examples and exceptions of when we use the adjective GOOD and the adverb WELL.
At the end of the lesson, there will be a short quiz to test your knowledge.
Good is an adjective, which means it describes nouns (people, places, or things).
Example: She is a good doctor, and he is a good nurse.
Well is an adverb, which means it modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. We use well to describe how something is done.
Example: My mom drives well. My dad sings well.
There are some exceptions, and you will learn about these in my lesson!

Amazing!
Brief and to the point,as usual.
Thanks so much.
Very well explained! Good video!
Thank you for this lesson. I understand the lesson well! I look forward to the next lesson soon. I was able to correctly answer 5 out of 5. Best wishes and regards. 😀
Well, you just gave us another good lesson. Much appreciate it!
Love your grammar videos! This was a great lesson. I learned “well” is mainly referring to one’s health. “Good” is referring to a noun. I did good on the sample test. Thanks for the lessons and your hard work. Kindness, Teresa
Thank you so much for your lovely words! You are correct that "well" refers to one's health and "good" refers to other nouns. I have one small correction with your sentence: " I did good on the sample test." In this case, it should be "I did well on the sample test" because "well" would function as an adverb modifying the verb "did". Compare these two sentences:
I did a good job on the test.
I did well on the test.
In the first sentence, good functions as an adjective modifying the noun "job".
In the second sentence, well functions as an adverb modifying the verb "did".
I hope that makes sense! :)
@@SparkleEnglish Thank you for explaining my mistake. Your explanation is welcomed.
You explained it well. And I think now I am good at using "good" and "well" more than before. 5/5 all thanks go for you.
Thanks.
I just love your videos. Love the way you explain the concept and your voice is so soothing and reassuring. Cant wait for the next one.
Thank you so much! That makes me feel so "good"! :)
I achieved a perfect score only because of routine use of these words; the sound was right to my ears. However, you've taught me the reason behind the choice and that's wonderful to know! Admittedly, I had to think about the first question after seeing it written. Momentarily it caused second thoughts about the choice of the proper word. Thank you for every lesson, Jennifer, I appreciate you!
