Only 'well' is correct in BrE.

fivejedjonOnly 'well' is correct in BrE.

Thanks, teacher.

Is that because of the verb 'wash', which implies the act of doing something and thus requires an adverb?

Yes, though the verb more than implies doing.

fivejedjonYes, though the verb more than implies doing.

I see. But I did not get what you mean by 'the verb more than implies doing'. Would you tell me what you meant please.

Washing is an action, so we would not say that the verb 'wash' implied action.

fivejedjonWashing is an action, so we would not say that the verb 'wash' implied action.

Oh I see. So would the reason be just because it's a verb (maybe it has the idea of an action due to your explanation)?

What is denoted by the verb 'wash' is an action.

fivejedjonWhat is denoted by the verb 'wash' is an action.

Is this a question? if so, I don't think it is an action as you said. It has to be in its 'ing form to be an action.

I just mentioned it to see if I understood correctly! I am assuming it's just a verb, because you clarified that to me. Am I right?

AnonymousIs this a question?

No.

Anonymous, I don't think it is an action as you said. It has to be in its 'ing form to be an action.

No. I wash every day. This is a regular action.

Oh I see.

I think I understand. You meant previously by what is denoted that it indicates/or is a sign that it's an action. Right?
