Good or Well? In both casual speech and formal writing, we frequently have to choose between the adjective good and the adverb well. Usually, when modifying a verb, use the adverb. He swims well. He knows only too well who the murderer is. When using a linking verb or a verb relating to the five senses, use the adjective instead. • I feel good today. [Referring to your state of mind, or spirits.] • Pizza tastes good. After a bath, the baby smells good. • Even after my careful paint job, this room doesn't look good. However, when you are referring your health, use well after linking verbs: • "How are you?" "I am well, thank you." Bad or Badly? When your cat died (assuming you loved your cat), did you feel bad or badly? Applying the same rule that applies to good versus well, use the adjective after verbs about human feelings. • I felt bad. After not showering for a week, the homeless man smelled bad. If you said he smelled badly, it would mean that something was wrong with his ability to smell. food
