    We can use good instead of well as an adjective. Compare:

    Instead of, I'm not well today

    We can use:

    I'm not good today.

    I think Good is better than well as an adjective…..

    Thanks……………….

    They have slightly different meanings. Not well can be used when someone is physically sick, whereas not good is more like "I've had a bad day", to me, anyway.
