Good vs Well
A2-B1 Level

The important exception is health. Well can be an adjective meaning healthy, so I do not feel well and get well soon are correct. However, I feel good can describe mood, confidence, or general satisfaction. These A2-B1 questions ask you to separate quality, performance, mood, and health before choosing. Look for clues around the blank: verbs like play, write, sleep, and manage usually point to performance, while nouns and linking verbs often point to quality or state. That context check is more reliable than choosing by habit.
Quick Rule
good = adjective for quality or state | well = adverb for performance or manner | well = adjective for health
