what's difference between as good as and as well as?

LouiseT · Accepted Answer

I think that you are asking about comparatives? so X is as good as Y and X is as well as Y

So it is the words good and well that you need to look at.

Good is an adjective. We use good when we want to give more information about a noun.
For example:
My dog Sam is very good. He's a good dog.
She didn't speak very good English. Her English isn't very good.

My English is as good as hers.
My dog is as good as Fred's dog.

Well is usually used as an adverb. We use well when we want to give more information about a verb.

For example:
He usually behaves very well.
She didn't speak English very well.

My dog behaves as well as Fred's dog does.
She doesn't speak English as well as I do.

Note! The exception to this can be when you talk about someone's health:
For example:-
She wasn't a well woman.
and when you describe sensations:
For example:-
This pizza tastes/smells/ looks good.
If you say "You look good." It means they look attractive.
If you say "You look well." It means they look healthy.

She is not as well as she was last week.
She does not look as well as she did last week.
You look great, you look as good as a model.

"as well as" also means "in addition to.
I am having a biscuit as well as a cake with my coffee.
