Ways to tell them apart:
Good
is an adjective and describes a noun, indicating something that is positive or satisfactory.
Well
is typically an adverb and modifies a verb, indicating the manner of doing something.
Remember: you feel good (adjective), but you perform well (adverb), since feeling is a state and performing is an action.
Another hint: If you are describing someone
s health, you would say they are
well,
not
good', though colloquially both can be heard.
When used as an adjective,
well
can describe health, as in
She is well.
