Глаголы восприятия (to taste, feel, smell) и употребление прилагательных и наречий

Вы, конечно же, знаете, что прилагательные употребляются с существительными, а наречия – с глаголами. Но для того, чтобы описать как что-то (кто-то) пахнет ("smell"), чувствует себя ("feel") или какой имеет вкус "to taste", вместо наречий употребляются соответствующие прилагательные:

These flowers smell good. (not "well")

I feel bad. (not "badly," хотя часто можно услышать и так)

My salad tastes good. (not "well")

В данном случае используются прилагательные, так как основное внимание уделяется качеству существительному, а не тому как это происходит. Если вы скажете "She smells well" вместо "She smells good," вы подчеркнете то, что от нее пахнет, а не то что от нее пахнет очень приятно.

Упражнение 1. Прочитайте предложение и вставьте good или well в соответствующие пропуски.
