Answer:In order for a sentence to be grammatically correct, the subject and verb must both be singular or plural. In other words, the subject and verb must agree with one another in their tense. If the subject is in plural form, the verb should also be in plur al form (and vice versa).

The word "well" is an adverb. It is used to modify a verb, adverb or another adjective and answers the question "how?".

...

For example:

He plays the guitar well.

He did well on the exam.

She speaks English well.

We don't know our neighbor very well.

He did the job well.

Explanation:The rule of thumb is that good is an adjective and well is an adverb. Good modifies a noun; something can be or seem good. Well modifies a verb; an action can be done well. However, when you're talking about health, well can be used as an adjective

The myth — that you should really say "I'm well" — relies on the idea that modifying a verb requires an adverb. The verb "am," however, involves special circumstances that make "I'm good" a perfectly acceptable answer. It's true that adverbs, not adjectives, are used to modify most verbs.Feb 19, 2014,2020
