Common Mistakes in use
of English-Lesson 46
Good Vs
Well
Good is an adjective. We use good when we want to give more
information about a noun.
For
example:
My dog is very good. He's a good dog.
She didn't speak very good English. Her English isn't very good.
Well is usually used as an adverb. We use well when we want to
give more information about a verb.
For
example:
He usually behaves very
well.
She didn't speak English very well.
The exception to this can be when you talk about someone's
health:
For
example:-
She wasn't a well woman.
and when you describe sensations:
For
example:-
This pizza tastes/smells/ looks good.
If you say "You look good." It means they look attractive.
If you say "You look well." It means they look healthy.
Hard Vs
Hardly
Hard is an adjective. It can mean solid, industrious, or
difficult.
For example:-
Heating the clay makes it hard (solid) .
She is a hard (industrious) worker.
It was a hard (difficult) test.
She is a hard (industrious) worker.
It was a hard (difficult) test.
Hardly is an adverb and means only just or certainly not.
For example:-
The teacher spoke so quietly I could hardly (only just) hear her.
You can hardly (certainly not) expect me to do the test for you!
You can hardly (certainly not) expect me to do the test for you!
