good, well
"Good" is an adjective that means something is as it should be or is better than average. "Good" should not be used as an adverb. It does not lose its status as an adjective in a sentence such as I feel good. Such a statement is the idiomatic equivalent of I am in good health. An alternative, I feel well, could be interpreted as meaning that your sense of touch was advanced. When used as an adjective, "well" means "suitable, proper, healthy." When used as an adverb, "well" means "in a satisfactory manner" or "skillfully."
