sonic1988 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 So, in class today my professor said "why is it that you can't 'write good', you 'write well'?" I've been looking on grammar websites for about an hour or so and I can't find the rule or reason why this is, only the fact that its gramatically correct. So, if anyone can help me out please let me know what rule this is. I know there are a lot of people from England here, but I figure the rules are probably the same. So, if anyone can help me out, I'd appericiate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnazz Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 "Good" is an adjective, "well" is an adverb. Since write is a verb, you write well. http://englishplus.com/grammar/00000218.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic1988 Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) thank you sooooo much. I'm actually doing this to impress a girl in class as well :kool: what happened was that the professor said "now, someone in the class will have to find out the reason for this." and she raised her had for and asked a question about "writing well, not good" and the professor said that she had to figure out the answer. mucho kudos, man!! :2thumbs: Edited September 12, 2006 by sonic1988 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
