What's the difference between "That is not good" and "That is not well"?  In what context should each expression be used or does it not make any difference?   Example:      That's not good. He should do the right thing.   and      That's not well. He should do the right thing.

This question is inspired by comments on . The original poster wrote:     How to correct this error?   And comments say that it's an incorrect question. Better is     How do I correct this error?   I am not a native English speaker, so the fact that both versions sound natural to me is quite irrelevant. But I would like to ask anyway whether the first version is really bad.  I have seen a lot of questions starting with How to, so if you say that the first version is incorrect, could you please summarize when it is OK to use How to and when it is preferable to say How do I.

I have a sentence:     Please show me the right way so that I can do that rather than take blind action.     Is this sentence grammatically correct?   Can I use instead of to replace rather than? If replaced, the meaning of this sentence is changed?   What is the difference between rather than and instead of? Can you show me some examples to distinguish them?

Possible Duplicate:          How would you answer the question "How are you?"     I'm well.   or     I'm good.   I notice that in American English, the latter is normally used, but I feel that the former is grammatically correct.  Same goes for questions like "How did it go?" Can one answer "It went well," or "It went good."  Which is correct?

I am looking for expressions that mean "to decide between two good options." For example, you have to choose between getting a car that you like or a super car that's very expensive but you are not sure if you like it.  I searched on Google and there are some phrases that mean to make decision between two unpleasant options so, I am not sure if there such an expression in English or not.

I'm trying to make more sense of how negation effects how a sentence is parsed and understood if and's and or's are used within them.  Pop quiz: You are trapped on a bus with a bomb going 50 MPH. You have a radio... (okay enough Keanu Reeves references) :-)  Let's say the bomb expert says "Don't cut the red or green wires." I think that means "Do not cut the wires colored red. Do not cut the wires colored green."  Now, let's say the bomb expert said on the radio "Do not cut the red and green wires", instead. Do I take that to mean:     "Do not cut the wires colored red. Do not cut the wires colored green."   OR     "Do not cut the wires whose insulation has red and green stripes." ?   OR     "It's okay to cut the wires colored red or the wires colored green, as long I don't cut one of each color."   Which meaning should I take if the radio breaks and I can't ask follow up questions?

Man: What do you think of the view?  Droid: I do not think of it.  Man: I don't think of it. I don't. Droids and apostrophes, I could write a book, except you are... barely a droid anymore.  (c) Deep Breath  I can't understand the difference between do not and don't in this case. I'd be grateful if somebody helps.

I've noticed that some people use effect and affect interchangeably. What are the differences between these two and when are the proper situations to use each of them?

A colleague asked me which of these sentences is correct, or if they are both correct which is better to use.   Are you using the current template version? Do you use the current template version?   I recommended using the first sentence but only because it sounds better to me.  Is there anything grammatically wrong with the second sentence or does it convey a different meaning to the first sentence?

I recommend you to define those parameters beforehand.   I recommend that you define those parameters beforehand.   Are both sentences grammatically correct? If yes, do they mean the same thing? If yes, which one should I use?

Sentence 1： I was told my work was unsatisfactory, at which point I submitted my resignation.  Sentence 2：Sometimes you may feel too frail to cope with things, in which case do them as soon as it is convenient.  I am confused with "which" in the above two sentences. Does it serve relative determiner, rather than relative pronoun? Does "which point" in the first sentence stand for "I was told my work was unsatisfactory"?Does "which case" in the second sentence stand for "sometimes you may feel too frail to cope with things"?  Thank you in advance!

Consider the next idiom:     Go back to square one   For me, as a non-native speaker, putting the in front of square one sounds equally good as not putting it at all. But, when I speak with native speakers, for them saying the before square one sounds as a broken English.  On the other hand, if I take an another example:     There are a few problems. The first one is ...   My question is, what is the difference? Why in the case of idiom the should not be said, but in the second case it has to be said?

Are the following sentences correct?     He seems not to want to help us   and         He seems want to help us.   Is it correct if I use "seem" in a negative sentence? Which role does "seem" play?  Is there any difference in meaning between:    It seems not working for me.   It doesn't seem work for me.  It seems not to be working.   Please tell me the differences between the three of them and in which situation I can use them.

I was wondering if someone could explain the subtle difference between these sentences:  1) Monday should be fine.  2) Monday would be fine.  This is in the context of someone asking if they could help me out on Monday instead of on Sunday. I am a little confused about the difference between the usage of 'should' and 'would' here. Both seem to fit. I personally seem to prefer 'should' but I can't explain why. Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Can we use though and although interchangeably? Somebody told me that the difference is that though cannot be used at the beginning of a sentence. Is that the rule?
