You have failed to use a capital letter after a full stop. Use the Edit Post facility to fix that error.

There are two sentences there, and they're now both grammatical.

We usually leave it to others to say how wonderful we are at something.

The marked lack of modesty aside, if you're a wonderful cook, I would expect you to be able to say something more impressive about your dinner parties than that they have "gone well".

Thanks all. Actually I am not a good cook and I am not keen on it. I saw that sentences in a book of a teacher and I wanted to know if "go well" is OK. Those sentences was a part of a long paragraph.

I guess "go well/bad/smoothly" means "to happen or develop in a particular way".

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.
