The word good...is okay. But it's not great or wonderful or outstanding.
Here are some other words that will help you change
things up and express yourself better than just using the word "good".
Number 1 - Valuable
We use "valuable" when we talk about the cost or
worth of something, or someone's importance.
Number 2 - Excellent
This word means extremely good. It's very commonly
used, and it describes someone or something that holds superior quality.
Number 3 - Exceptional
This is kind of similar to excellent but perhaps
even more so because it means something that is unusually good.
Number 4 - Outstanding
Another similar word to excellent and exceptional,
it means something that is remarkably good.
Number 5 - Superb
Superb means impressively beautiful.
So many times we use it to describe
how nice something is or how nice something looks.
Number 6 - Divine
Divine is related to something godly.
But we also use it when we want to emphasize
that something is out-of-this-world good.
Number 7 - Brilliant
Brilliant was initially used to describe something
that shines brightly. But this can be extended to a
performance or an idea that outshines the others.
Brilliant is used in that context a lot
more in British English than in American English.
But it's still very common in both countries.
Number 8 - Impressive
Something that is impressive has the ability to
blow your mind or make a great impression on you.
Number 9 - Admirable
Admirable means someone or something worthy of
a lot of respect or admiration.
Number 10 - Flawless
We use "flawless" to describe someone or something
that has no defects or faults.
Number 11 - Wonderful
Wonderful is used as a synonym for excellent.
Basically, we use it to describe something that is much better than good.
Number 12 - Great
Great is another synonym for exceptional or outstanding.
