[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [quote]I want to hire someone who speaks good English[/quote], If you want strong English speaking skills, you might wan to brush up on your own. "speaks good English?" Try "speaks English well"[/quote] Actually, you're wrong. The phrase "speaks good English" has good as an adjective to describe the English spoken. So she's requesting some one who speaks the variety of English that is good, rather than some one speaks a bad version of English. That is a legitimate request. The phrase you suggested uses well, an adverb, to describe the speaking. So, you would like some one who speaks English and speaks it well - fluently, perhaps? You're not looking for some one who speaks English poorly. Fair enough. Both are fine and convey the same point. OP's original phrasing is not incorrect. [/quote]
