Welcome to 15mins.today the home of English Shadowing. I’m your house Gavin and this is In-Tense Episode 28.
Now guys in this episode we will be looking at a very interesting thing. It’'s basically if you watch any YouTube channels from North America you will hear it, and that's the word “good” You did good!” Well it's very interesting, I was taught when you use the word “good” to describe a verb you use it as “well.” You change it from “good” to “well.” If you use it to describe a noun, a thing, then you use the word “good.” So for an example, “He did well.” or “The car is good.” So that's how it is, of course you will hear it everywhere, I've heard it in movies, et cetera. But that's how we use it, if you describe a verb we use “well” and if you describe a noun you use “good.” One way to cheat a bit is to use the word “great” because “great” is always “great!” But you know “great” and “good” don't exactly mean the same thing, but if you are a bit unsure just throwing in a “great” is okay. So let's get going with a questions.
