How do you know when to use good in a sentence?

You use "good" when you want to describe something as being of high quality, satisfactory, or positive. Here's a breakdown of when to use "good":

As an adjective:

* Describing qualities: "That's a good idea!"

* Evaluating performance: "She did a good job on the project."

* Expressing approval: "I'm feeling good today."

* Contrasting with "bad": "That was a good movie, not like the bad one we saw last week."

As an adverb:
