Thanks all. Actually, I am not a good cook and I am not keen on [STRIKE]it[/STRIKE] cooking. I saw [STRIKE]that[/STRIKE] those sentences in a book [STRIKE]of[/STRIKE] by a teacher and I wanted to know if "go well" is OK. Those sentences [STRIKE]was[/STRIKE] were a part of a long paragraph.
I guess "go well/bad/smoothly" means "to happen or develop in a particular way".
"Go well/badly/smoothly" used in a non-continuous form generally refer to a single event or incident.
Ann: How was the dinner party you held for your parents?
Dave: It went well.
Ann: How did the birthday party go?
Dave: It went really badly!
Used in a continuous form, it refers to an ongoing situation or event, or how something is developing.
Dave: How's your new job going?
Ann: It's going really well. I love it.
Dave: How are you getting on with that essay?
Ann: It's going badly. I've only written the introduction so far.
