Re: Good or well?

Nour
FIRST THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO TEACH ME MANNERS ARE MY PARENTS (and don't even think to say of saying anything about my PARENTS. if you did that's only mean that only means you are an unpolite person)
Second I admit the first sentence is wrong but the second one is correct!
Third you caused an argument because a word!Wake up man hhhh


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!

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! just because of a word.
Got it?

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?

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 )?

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.
