Some sentences please!

Good is (too) often incorrectly used in place of 'well'. As an adverb, it is rare, only in a few expressions: I hate this place, and I'm leaving it for good [ = permanently ]. In formal writing, try to find an appropriate adverb to use in its place.

"good" is an adjective; "well" is the corresponding adverb.

All the sentences I can think of have "good" incorrectly used in place of "well".

*Sam does good in school, and Luke does good at sports.
Can you say that again? *I didn't hear you good.
*You don't play tennis as good as I do.

Do you consider "good" also incorrect in I'm good, which I've heard used either to mean that you've had enough of what you are being offered or, in a different situation, that were not hurt or injured in the mishap?

Thank you

Henry74Do you consider "good" also incorrect in I'm good,
No. I consider it an adjective after a linking verb (am), roughly equivalent to 'satisfied' or 'uninjured' in the given scenarios.
