【涨姿势】＂好＂用英语怎么说?你能区分Good和Well吗?,最英国微信公众号文章

如果用英语说“你英语说得很好”，你会在good和well中选择哪一个呢？

正确答案，其实是good和well都可以用，这两个基础词汇都表示“好”的意思。

然而，这两个词组出来的句子却是截然不同的。

Your English is good / You speak English well.

想知道为什么会这样不同吗？

其实很简单：good是形容词（adj），而well是副词（adv）。

实际上，别说是英语初学者了，就连许多老外都会把good和well说错。

如果你想进一步了解老外是如何区分和使用这两个词的话，看看具体的解释吧~

Good or Well

Good is an adjective. Well is an adverb.

Both native and non-native speakers often mistakenly use good in place of well. Take a look at the differences between the adjective and adverb form which is certainly one of the most common mistakes in English. The most important distinction is that 'well' describes how someone does something, whereas 'good' is used to describe a noun such as "good times", "good food", etc.

Many people, including many native speakers, incorrectly use the adjective form good, rather than the adverb well.

Examples:

INCORRECT: I did good on the test.

CORRECT: Correct form: I did well on the test.

INCORRECT: She played the game good.

CORRECT: Correct form: She played the game well.

Use the adjective form good when describing something or someone. In other words, use good when stating how something or someone is.

Examples:

She is a good tennis player.

Tom thinks he is a good listener.

Use the adverb form well when describing how something or someone does something.
