Hello everyone this is Marc from www.englishmarc.net
I chose to talk about the two words that are easily confused by my students
and this is well and good. The first thing that I need to say is that a lot of students of mine
asked me the question how to answer to the following question. How are you? Well as you
already know how are you you can answer I'm fine, I'm well, I'm okay but some students found that
after watching movies, American movies, some people answered I'm good. Well let me tell you
that that's colloquial English, colloquial American English. We usually say I'm well,
I'm fine but if you want to say I'm good in American English you may do so. Let's look at
the differences. Well is an adverb so I wrote the example I speak English well, I speak Italian well
okay so it modifies verbs adjectives and other adverbs it also works as an adjective with a
meaning being in good health as in the example he's not well today that means he's not feeling
very well today okay good is an adjective and the example that I wrote is she speaks
good French or she speaks good English okay so it modifies nouns and pronouns but also
some verbs such as look, feel, taste, be, seem etc. The example that I gave you for that is I feel
good today okay so it modifies also some verbs. There are common expressions the one on the left
so the one just looking at well the speech bubble of well in the green box common expressions well
done bravo we also say you can say bravo so for example I got an A in my exam okay I got an A
in my exam and I can say okay or somebody can say to me well done well done bravo okay
well and good this is another expression with well and the example that I wrote is
if they arrive before I leave well and good okay that means not so bad it's great okay
the common expressions for good the most common expressions for good that means forever
so the example they are leaving for good they are leaving for good forever is another word to say
forever another common expression is so far so good how is your life in Rome so far so good
is the answer okay it's not bad it's good so far okay so you may post any questions if you have any
or any other expressions because they're not just two expressions each there are others
so if you have or if you found other expressions you may post them under the video I hope you
enjoyed the video and I see you next time please don't forget to share it okay and subscribe to my
channel if you if you want to thank you have a great day bye bye
