Sometimes it is good to discuss why words are used the way they are.
There's a link to more words that are questioned, at this webpage.

Also, I agree with Theodore, that reading helps you learn grammar correctly. That's one reason I love homeschooling.

Well can be used as an adjective as in the following:

She is well again after the measles.
Things are well with us.

That was GOOD FOOD you prepared.
The WORK is looking GOOD.

Well is an adverb, and generally answers the question "how?"

The food WAS COOKED WELL. (how was it cooked?)
I do not FEEL WELL. (how do you feel?)

Honestly, grammar wasn't my strong suit, but I know which one sounds right in a sentence, since I've read so many books.

You might like the book Eats, Shoots, and Leaves. It's a humourous look at everyday grammar.

When I was a kid, a teacher told me only to use "good" when describing food. Well, that appears to be WRONG.

Here's my opinion...both words may be used as adjectives so that's not the problem. I think the problem arises when we try to use good in place of well when well is an adverb. Good is never an adverb to my knowledge.

Examples: The work is going well.(correct)
The work is going good.(incorrect)

Stir up the soup well.
Stir up the soup good.

I don't know if that's it or not. That's just one thing I've noticed. Maybe someone else will be able to shed some light.
