We usually use the adjective 'good' to say that something is well made or of high quality, that we enjoy or like it very much. We can also use adjectives to say that something is extremely good in a very exciting way. 

In this lesson, you will learn how to use 10 different adjectives that can replace the word 'good', which can make you sound like a better English speaker. 

Let's look at the example sentences below. 

NICE (meaning: pleasant, attractive, or enjoyable) 
  • Fort Collins in Colorado is a nice place to live. It is considered one of the best cities in the U.S. It's a college town with a great atmosphere and lots of open spaces and outdoor activities to choose from. 
  • My friend's a really nice guy. (= kind, friendly) 
  • Oh, you have such a nice house. 
  • What a nice surprise! I didn't expect to see you here. 

POSITIVE (meaning: good or useful) 
  • Whenever you feel sad, take some time to write down all the positive things about your life.
  • I've had the chance to live abroad and I must say that it has been a very positive experience for me.

  • Doing exercises has a positive effect on health. 
  • Some parents prefer living in the countryside because they think the rural environment has a positive effect on their children's health. 
  • In the beginning, going to the gym was kind of painful and my body hurt but, on the positive side, I feel physically fine now. (in the beginning = at first)
