Have I used good and well correctly?
In my opinion, your book is very good. The text is extremely well written. You did well explaining the rules of grammar. I am a good reader and this book was easy to follow and understand. I especially like the practices and exercises in the textbook. I find it beneficial to be able to see how well I understand the material. The exercises have proven to be good practice for me when I am having a difficult time writing sentences. When I am studying I glance over the chapter summaries to get a good idea of the chapter topics. I have found the side notes to be very helpful as well. Thanks to your textbook, I have become a good writer and I do well in my classes.
Good job!
Should I change this sentence?
When I am studying I glance over the chapter summaries to get a good idea of the chapter topics.
-the chapters' topics.
"the chapters' topics" is correct, yes.
And you need a comma after "studying."
Thank You both!
You're welcome!
