Question

Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence:

He speaks English good.

• A. very good
• B. nicely
• C. fluently
• D. well

Answer 1

Answer:

D. well

• Adjective vs. Adverb Rule:

  • "Good" is an adjective, which modifies a noun or pronoun (e.g., "He is a good speaker").

  • "Well" is an adverb, which modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb (e.g., "He speaks well").

• Application in the Sentence:

  • The word needs to modify the verb "speaks" (how does he speak?). Therefore, the adverb "well" must be used instead of the adjective "good".
