what is the proper use of good and well?

Question

give me what each modifies.
pls:)

Answer 1

It is gramatically wrong to say "I did good." even though most people say it. "I did well." is the proper way to say it. Good is used as an adjective to modify a noun. You would say "That is a good book.", but not "That is a WELL book."

Answer 2

Good is properly used as an adjective with linking verbs such as be, seem, or appear: The future looks good. The soup tastes good. It should not be used as an adverb with other verbs: "The car runs well" (not good). Thus, "The dress fits well and looks good."

English speakers have used 'well' both as an adjective and as an adverb since Old English times. When applied to people, the adjective well usually refers to a state of health. Like similar adjectives, such as ill and faint, 'well' in this use is normally restricted to the predicate, as in "He hasn't been well lately". 'Well' does see occasional use before a noun, as in Benjamin Franklin's "Poor Dick eats like a well man, and drinks like a sick." It also appears in compound adjectives like well-baby, which is well known to pediatricians and recent parents. 'Good', on the other hand, has a much wider range of senses, including "attractive," as in "He looks good", and "competent," as in "She's pretty good for a beginner", as well as "healthy."

Answer 3

Good is an adjective. Well is an adverb.

That is one good cookie! (Modifies cookie, a noun.)

He did that very well. (Modifies the verb did.)

Answer 4

Well is used to describe how someone is feeling...
I don't feel well today.
