2. Using adjectives after linking and perception verbs

Linking verbs (to be, become, appear, seem, look) and the verbs of sense (taste, smell, etc.) are followed by adjectives (not adverbs!): This peach is/looks/tastes so sweet/good/wonderful. All is well that ends well. I am very well today, and you?

3. Using good and well

1) Use the adjective good to mean ‘better than average’: We had a good time.

BUT: Use the adverb well to mean ‘in a good way’: No one slept very well.

2) Use the adjective well after the verb to be to mean ‘in good health’, ‘comfortable’: I am well.

B UT: Use the adjective good/bad after the verb to feel: I feel good/bad. It feels good.

NOTE that the linking verb feel requires the adjective well to mean ‘to be satisfactory’ and ‘well-dressed’: She feels well in that suit.
