📚Good (i.e. kind) to children, to one's parents, to the poor, to animals, etc.

📚Good (i.e. beneficial) for someone or something: good for one's health, good for a cough, good for children.

📚Good for (i.e wealthy to the extent of, or likely to give) a few thousand pounds, a fiver, etc (Colloquial.)

📚Good (i.e. skilful or proficient) at a subject, a hobby, or an activity: good at mathematics, good at photography, good at making aeroplanes. (In colloquial English sometimes used sarcastically, as good at finding jobs for others, good at looking after his own interests.)

📚Good on (i.e. in performing on) a musical instrument: good on the violin, good on the organ.

📚Good on (i.e. in treating of or dealing with) a particular subject: good on the Elizabethan drama, good on the French Revolution.

📚Good as (i.e in the capacity or role of) whatever or whoever is specified: good as a preacher, good as Shylock in The Merchant of Venice.

📚Good with (i.e skilful in the use, management or treatment of) something or someone: good with one's hands, good with one's needle, good with children.

📚Any good, no good, not much good to a person or organization, for a use or purpose, at a pursuit or activity, as (i.e in the capacity of) someone or something, with (i.e. in the use, management or treatment of).
• Is this screwdriver any good to you?
• These apples are no good for cooking.
• She is not much good at cookery.
• He is a pleasant fellow, but no good as a teacher.
• He is quite brilliant intellectually, but he is no good with his hands.

📚For good: for ever.
After we had been in the village a few months we so liked it that we decided to settle there for good.
Sometimes for good and all: e.g. 'When once he has made up his mind it is made up for good and all'.
An influence for good, however, means 'an influence in the direction of, or making for, good'.

📚For the good of: for the benefit or advantage of; e.g. for the good of one's health, for the good of the children, for the good of the cause, for the good of the school.
In appropriate cases the of-adjunct may be replaced by a possessive adjective (for your good, for my own good) or by a genitive (for everyone's good).

📚To the good: to the advantage.

• I was fifty pence to the good over that deal.

• If we arrive earlier than we expected, all to the good.
(I.e it will be so much the more advantageous.Note the use of all in this idiom. It would be incorrect to omit it.)

⭐️Special case of RECLASSIFICATION⭐️

⏩In order to understand this lesson, we have to read about reclassification.

📚Nouns may be shifted from one class to another by means of conversion. Thus a nonconut noun like cheese can be 'reclassified' as a count noun involving a semantic shift so as to denote quality partition 'kind/ type/form of', eg:⏬

🔻A: What cheeses have you got today?
B: Well, we have Cheddar, Gorgonzola, and Danish Blue.

📚Similarly, a noun like coffee, which is normally nonconut, as in (1), can be reclassified as :

• a count noun to mean an 'appropriate unit of' as in (1a) and (1b), or
• a kind/sort/brand of' as in (1c) and (1d):⏬

🔻(1)Do you want tea or coffee?
🔻(1a)Can I have a coffee, please? ['a cup of coffee']
🔻(1b)Two coffees, please. ['two cups of coffee']
🔻(1c)This is a nice coffee.
🔻(1d)I like Brazilian coffees best.

📚📚THERE IS A SPECIAL CASE OF RECLASSIFICATION IN CASES LIKE THE FOLLOWING:

🔻Are you cosmetics?

HERE THERE IS NO COREFERENCE RELATION BETWEEN SUBJECT AND COMPLEMENT AS IN

🔻Are you a teacher?

THE COMPLEMENT REPRESENTS INSTEAD A COMPRESSED FORM OF THE PREDICTION:

eg: Are you (selling) cosmetics?

IN THIS USE OF THE NOUN THERE IS AN IMPLIED CONTRAST:
'COSMETICS AS OPPOSED TO TOYS, JEWELLERY, ETC IN A DEPARTMENT STORE'.

🔘
SIMILARLY:

🔻Are you 103? ['the occupant of the room number 103, as opposed to 104, etc']

THE CONTRAST MAY ALSO BE MORE EXPLICIT, AS IN:

🔻Are you church or chapel? ['a member of the Church of England or a nonconformist']

IN THESE LAST CASES WE MAY ARGUE THAT THE NOUN HAS BEEN RECLASSIFIED AS AN ADJECTIVE AS IN

🔻They're very Oxbridge.

✨Well done 👍🏻

✅ “Angry”
is the correct answer!

🏷 Explanation:

“Appear”
is a copular verb. We use adjectives, not adverbs, to modify copular verbs.
