Good vs. Well Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library - Free Printable

Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We’re choosing between “good” and “well.” Here’s a quick tip to remember:

- Use “good” when you’re describing a noun (a thing, person, or idea). It answers “What kind?”
- Use “well” when you’re describing how something is done — especially with verbs like “went,” “looked,” “did,” etc. It often means “in a good way.”

Also: “Well” can be an adjective too — but only when talking about health (“I feel well”). In this worksheet, we’re mostly using it as an adverb.

Now let’s solve each sentence:

1. The play went very ___ last night.
→ “Went” is a verb → we need an adverb → well

2. I thought Jack gave a very ___ performance.
→ “Performance” is a noun → we need an adjective → good

3. It’s a ___ thing we got there early. The place was packed.
→ “Thing” is a noun → adjective needed → good

4. I couldn’t see ___ from where I was sitting.
→ “See” is a verb → how did you see? → adverb → well

5. The snacks at that theatre are very ___.
→ “Snacks” is a noun → adjective → good

6. There is another ___ play starting next week.
→ “Play” is a noun → adjective → good

7. It would be a ___ idea for us to go together.
→ “Idea” is a noun → adjective → good

8. Tina looked ___ the last time that I saw her.
→ “Looked” here describes appearance → use adjective → good
*(Note: If it were about health, we’d say “well,” but here it’s about how she appeared visually.)*

9. That costume looked really ___ on Michael.
→ Again, “looked” = appearance → adjective → good

10. John did a ___ job doing the lights.
→ “Job” is a noun → adjective → good

11. I am looking forward to reading some ___ reviews.
→ “Reviews” is a noun → adjective → good

Wait — let me double-check #8 and #9. Sometimes “looked well” can mean “appeared healthy,” but in these sentences, they’re talking about how things appeared visually — so “good” is correct.

Also, #4: “couldn’t see well” — yes, because it’s about the ability to see clearly → adverb.

All others seem solid.

1. well
2. good
3. good
4. well
