well is the adverb from good “Sleep well.” “He plays football well.” well can also be an adjective. It means healthy. “My teacher was not at school today. He is not well.”
Adverbs of manner can come before or after a verb. “He drove carefully because the weather was bad. “She quietly went upstairs.” But they must come after an object if there is one. “You speak English well.” “You speak well English.”
When a sentenceconsists of verb + preposition + object we can puttheadverbbeforetheprepositionoraftertheobject. “Shelistenedto me carefully.” “Shelistenedcarefullyto me.”
