When should I use the word "good" and when should I use the word "well?"?

Answer 1

Well! The answer above left me cold - sure you can use "well" as a one-word sentence.

The answers above have the general idea - good for nouns, well for verbs. BUT you didn't think English would be that simple, did you?

"Well" may also be an adjective when used in the sense of healthy, or not sick, as in "well baby care." Most of the time, it is the adverb, but there is that one usage as an adjective

Answer 2

Yes Well is with a verb and good is with a noun. But also when you want to use it as a one word sentance say "Good" not "Well"

Answer 3

"If you remember that GOOD is an adjective and that WELL is an adverb, you won't write 'He did good on the exam' or 'The car runs good.' Instead, you will write 'He did well on the exam' and 'The car runs well.' And you will write 'She is good about taking her medicine' and 'The pie tastes good.'"

Answer 4

Well.......(joke**) It all depends on the verb I think.

Excample: I am not doing well on my homework.(Correct)
I am not doing good on my homework (Incorrect)

In some cases they both can be correct

Excample: Sense I finished my homework, I did well on the test
Sense I finished my homework, I did good on the test.

Answer 5

"Good" should describe a noun, such as "it is a good day"
"Well" should describe a verb, such as "she dances well"
