Good vs Well Worksheets - Free Printable

Let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick the right word: good or well.

Remember this simple rule:
- Use good to describe a noun (a person, place, thing, or idea). It answers “What kind?”
- Use well to describe a verb (an action) or how something is done. It answers “How?”

Also, “feel” can be tricky — when you’re talking about your health or emotions, use well. When you’re describing how something feels to touch or seem, use good.

Now let’s solve each:

1. You handled that situation very ___ → “Handled” is an action (verb), so we need well.
✔ *You handled that situation very well.*

2. An apple a day is supposed to be ___ for you → This describes “apple” (noun), but actually it’s saying what effect it has — “be good for you” is a common phrase meaning beneficial. So good.
✔ *An apple a day is supposed to be good for you.*

3. I felt ___ after participating... → Talking about how you feel emotionally/physically → use well.
✔ *I felt well after participating...*

4. Charlie fits in ___ with the kids → “Fits in” is an action → how does she fit? → well.
✔ *Charlie fits in well with the kids...*

5. This is as ___ as it gets! → Describing “this” (thing/situation) → use good.
✔ *This is as good as it gets!*

6. My sister has been a ___ helper → “Helper” is a noun → describe her quality → good.
✔ *My sister has been a good helper...*

7. My friends are ___ versed in playing soccer → “Versed” is an adjective, but “well versed” is a fixed phrase meaning knowledgeable. So well.
✔ *My friends are well versed in playing soccer.*

8. You would do ___ to get exercise daily → “Do” is a verb → how would you do? → well.
✔ *You would do well to get exercise daily.*

9. I really appreciate how ___ mannered your new group of friends are → “Mannered” is an adjective, but “well-mannered” is the correct phrase. So well.
