“10 items or less” is not correct! If you walk into any grocery store in the United States, and you will see a sign that says “10 items or less” for the fast checkout lanes. This is wrong – it should be “10 items or fewer” because “items” is a countable noun.

Less means “not as much.” We use less with uncountable nouns like milk. Could you give Cookie Monster less milk next time? Most often, you will not have to be Sherlock Holmes to deduce whether a noun is countable or uncountable, thus the decision between less and fewer will be an effortless one.

The suffix -less, meaning “without,” is added to nouns and verbs to form adjectives. For example, a hopeless situation is a situation without hope. Learn these words that use the suffix.

According to usage rules, fewer is only to be used when discussing countable things, while less is used for singular mass nouns. For example, you can have fewer ingredients, dollars, people, or puppies, but less salt, money, honesty, or love. If you can count it, go for fewer.

Generally, fewer is used when the number of things is counted (“fewer problems”) whereas less is used when the number is measured (“less trouble” or “less time”).

“Is going” is verb. “Good” describes nouns. “Well” modifies verbs. Thank you, I am doing WELL.

Therefore, “I’m good,” is a proper response. “I’m well” is also allowed but not for the reasons many think. That response only works if “well” takes on its adjectival form, meaning “in good health” or “good or satisfactory.” Now, if someone asks “How are you doing?” “I’m doing well” is the correct response.

Summary: I’m good is correct, because am is a linking verb, taking an adjectival predicate, and good is that adjective. I’m good means that one is fine, in good spirits, etc.

I am fine, thank you should be the answer to your greeting a person,”How do you do?” a smile is enough! And you can proceed further with the conversation.

Saying “I’m good”, is not bad per se, aside from the fact that “well” is considered more grammatical. Depending on the tone, you are saying in either a very direct way or even a rude way “I don’t want your help.”

You can also say — I’m doing fine, I’m doing good or I’m doing just great.

There are a few ways to express how we feel:

1. “I don’t feel well.” “I am feeling sick.”
2. “I am feeling very tired today.” “I have been feeling very run-down lately.”
3. “I have a bad headache.” “I have a sore arm.”
4. “I’m sorry you’re not feeling well. Maybe you should go home to bed?”
5. “I’m still not feeling well.”
