How are you?
I'm good.
How are you feeling? Have you gotten over the flu?
Yes, I'm well.
How does that steak taste?
Mmm, it tastes well.
Oh, did they overcook it?
No, it tastes good.
How does that rose smell?
It smells good.
...
Do you know when to use the word WELL versus the word GOOD? Are you sure?
The basic rules:
Good is an adjective. Use it to describe nouns.
Well is an adverb. Use it to describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs.
Except:
** When describing senses like taste and smell, it is more common and acceptable to use GOOD instead of well (see examples above). It makes more sense to say the steak tastes good. Saying it tastes well leads to confusion.
** And when someone asks you how you are feeling either during an illness or after an illness, it is acceptable to say "I am well." It indicates how you are feeling (a verb).
Of course, there are a million more details to the topic, but this covers the basics.
Good luck with your writing; I hope it goes well.
:)
