Well and Good

I don’t recall mentioning this grade-school point of grammar before. The difference between “well” and “good.”
- Well—an adverb. Goes with verbs. Well done!
- Good—an adjective. Goes with nouns. Good lesson!
- Yes, both words can be nouns, but that’s a lesson for another day.
Okay, class, here’s a test. Did he get it correct or not? Last panel.
The cartoon is incorrect. Good is not describing a a noun according to the rule.
