QUESTION What is the difference between "I feel good" and "I feel well"? To feel good is to feel at peace (free from worry), fulfilled (satisfied with life), positive/cheerful, or even jubilant (feeling great joy), thrilled (very excited/filled with pleasure), and even triumphant (Oh my GOD I won. I’m feeling so good and happy that I’m going to run a victory lap around the neighbourhood!). To feel well is to be in good physical and/or mental condition. It’s to feel healthy, robust, thriving, solid/strong, able, and so on. In everyday conversation, depending on the context, they could mean the exact same thing, when you don’t even need conversation. You can, for example, wake up and think/realise, “I feel good/well.” The “choice” of vocabulary does not affect the proposition. If you’re recovering from illness and someone asks how you’re feeling, you can say, “I feel good/well,” with both meaning the same thing. #Manuel_Humberto ⭕️Unknown English

QUESTION Which of these is correct, “I and her” or “me and her?” Neither is correct. It is customary and polite to always put oneself after the other party in a sentence. Also, keep in mind that subject pronouns (for the ones who do things) are “she” and “I,” while the object pronouns (for the ones who receive the actions) are “her” and “me.” So, two good sentences would be, “She gave the tea to her and me.” and “She and I gave the tea to her.” #Frank_Dauenhauer ⭕️Unknown English

What is the correct punctuation for this sentence, 'l have no option than to go back'? The correct punctuation is to use the letter “I” in place of the letter “l” as the first word in the sentence, then to add a period to the end of the sentence, and finally to replace the word “than” with “but.” Making these changes will result in the correct sentence, “I have no option but to go back.” Another way to say it correctly is, “I have no option other than to go back.” #Frank_Dauenhauer ⭕️Unknown English
