Good or Well Good is an adjective and well is an adverb. Many people, including many native speakers, incorrectly use the adjective form good, rather than the adverb well. Examples: I did good on the test. INCORRECT! - Correct form: I did well on the test. She played the game good. INCORRECT! - Correct form: She played the game well. Use the adjective form good when describing something or someone. In other words, use good when stating how something or someone is. Examples: Tom thinks he is a good listener. She is a good tennis player.

Use the adverb form well when describing how something or someone does something. Examples: She did extremely well on the exam. Our parents think we speak English well. Bring Take Fetch/Get The use of bring and take is confusing for many students. The choice between bring or take depends on the location of the speaker. If the speaker refers to something that is at her current location, she uses bring. Generally, use bring when something moves from there to here. Examples: I'll bring the map with me on the trip. I'm glad you brought me to this shop. It's great!

If the speaker refers to something that has been moved to a different location, she uses take. Generally, use take when something moves from here to there. Examples: The coach took the boys to football field. Jack took his laptop with him on his trip. Fetch/Get When speaking about going somewhere and getting something and then bringing it back, use get (American English) or fetch (British English). Examples: Could you get the newspaper? She fetched her diary and showed him the entry. Whether / If Both whether and if are used to introduce a yes/no question:

2
Examples: He asked me whether I felt well. We're not sure if they have decided. The verb discuss generally takes whether rather than if. Examples: We discussed whether he should be hired. They discussed whether to invest in the new idea. After Prepositions Use only whether after prepositions: Examples: We talked about whether we should go or not. I looked into whether he should stay. Infinitives Use only whether before infinitives: Examples: She can't decide whether to buy the house or wait. He considered whether to give up the position or quit next year. Formal / Informal Generally, whether is considered more formal than if. Examples: Let me know whether you will be able to attend the conference. The CEO will decide whether this is a risk worth taking. Enough Adjective / Adverb + Enough When enough modifies an adjective or an adverb place enough after the adjective / adverb: Examples: Do you think he is strong enough to lift that weight? I think it's warm enough to take a walk without my jacket. Enough + Noun When enough modifies a noun, place enough before the noun: Examples: He has enough money to buy a ticket. She said there were enough participants to begin the study.

They can mean either a great quantity of or a large number of and can be rather confusing at times. Here are the general rules for their use.
