Lesson 64
Using Good or Well; Bad or Badly
Always use good as an adjective. Well may be used as an adverb of manner telling how
ably something is done or as an adjective meaning “in good health.”
Rock collecting is a good hobby for young children. (adjective)
That suit looks good on you. (adjective after a linking verb)
Cody performed his many duties well. (adverb of manner)
Andrew does not appear well this morning. (adjective meaning “in good health”)
Always use bad as an adjective. Therefore, bad is used after a linking verb. Use badly as
an adverb. Badly almost always follows an action verb.
Eating lunch first was a bad idea. (adjective)
The potatoes smelled bad. (adjective following a linking verb)
I feel bad about forgetting his birthday. (adjective following a linking verb)
The entire team played badly last night. (adverb following an action verb)
