Oh really!

Well, in the civilised world saying PLEASE is considered POLITE and COURTEOUS. You should try it some time.

Good manners cost nothing.

No! You didn't understand me! In civilised world when you say to another person to say to please.
That's mean you are saying that I am not polite
You should apologize you know
I felt very very very very very angry when you said that

But I AM saying you are NOT polite. Polite people say PLEASE.

Now go away and learn some manners. And if you ask any more questions on here, remember to say PLEASE, and when you get a reply say THANK YOU.

Got it?

Re: Good or well?

Unlike some PEOPLE I am a girl with good manners I don't judge people if they are polite or not,Because just a word!

And I don't wait from a foreign guy to tech me maners!

And I don't wait from a foreign guy to tech me maners!want a foreign guy to teach me manners




So you don't want a "foreign guy" like me to teach you manners, but you're okay with me teaching you English !!!!

And who do you want to teach you manners? Your peers and teachers clearly do not teach you!

I suggest you ask your question again, but this time with a please.

Btw, as you can see, I have corrected the mistakes in your question!

Re: Good or well?

FIRST THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO TEACH ME MANNERS ARE MY PARENTS (and don't even think to say anything about my PARENTS if you did that's only mean you are unpolite person)
Second I admit the first sentence is wrong but the second one is correct and it is was sentence not question !
Third you caused an argument because a word!Wake up man hhhh
Finally I thought you will be kind person to help learn your language but apparently you are Not!o_O

How dare you tell me to wake up, you ignorant ill-mannered girl!!

And your second sentence IS wrong:

"And I don't wait from a foreign guy to tech me maners! That is three mistakes:

1. "From" is the wrong preposition; you cannot say "wait from", but only "wait for".

2. You spelt "teach" incorrectly.

3. You spelt "manners" incorrectly.

And you made more mistakes in your message which you will see I have corrected.

Now go and learn some manners, and some grammar, and some spelling!

Re: Good or well?

Your spelt it wrong too hhhhh
Listen I don't want to insult you as you did because I don't want troubles Ok
Let us be Rational and let's apologize to each other ok?

Re: Good or well?

You are funny guy you are arguing and in the same time you correct my mistakes !

Re: Good or well?

Do I really have to say (please )?

Re: Good or well?

Nour,
I think it may be "My father dresses very well" because we usually say " a well-dressed man" not "a good dressed man"
I am not complete sure but 8 out of 10 say "well" is the most suitable one

Hi Emma and Nour

The adverb “well” is the correct word; it describes the way he dresses.

In the sense that “dresses” has here (meaning in an appropriate and typically appealing way) it requires a manner dependent such as “well”; it’s more or less obligatory and thus a complement.

By contrast, the adjective “good” is used to describe a property of someone or something, often predicatively:

He looks good.
It appears to be good.
This is a good restaurant.
