This pair of words is used to mean in a favorable condition or manner.

Good is an adjective and usually modifies nouns. Well is an adverb, and modifies verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. When well is used as an adjective, it means "in good health."

Examples:

"He is a good player."

"He is a well-trained player."

"He is very good at his job."

"He performs very well at his job."

Many times, you can use the -er form or the -ing (gerund, noun) form of a verb, so that good can modify it. "He drives well" can become "his driving is good" or "he is a good driver."

The word "well" used as an adjective indicates health, so "he is well" does not mean "he is good" but rather than "he is in good health."

What is the diference between good and well?

The difference between good and well is that well is and adverb so it describes an verb or action word. And good is an adjective so t describes nouns: person place or thing. Ex: George is good at writing, that sentence is wrong because the word good is describing how he writes, and writing is a verb, so you would have to use the adverb well, George was well at writing. Ex: These are good meatballs. This sentence is correct, the word good is describing the meatballs which is a noun so the word good which is an adjective would be the correct use in that sentence. I hope I helped! :)
