In the sentence "I feel good", is 'good' an adverb or an adjective?

I know that 'feel' is a verb, therefore it would seem that 'good' would logically be an adverb, but if we say that 'good' describes 'the feeling' (in which case 'feeling' is a noun), then it would be adjective.

Am I over thinking this, or can it be both?

its an adverb like innit? An adjective describes a noun, and feel isnt a noun.

But if it's an adverb, it's describing the manner in which you feel. Like, your ability to feel is well developed. Am I right there? While as if the feeling you have is a feeling of goodness, then it's describing the feeling, which is an abstract noun.

Wait...wasn't this is Kiss Kiss Bang Bang?

Good can be an adjective, adverb and noun.

In this instance it's an adverb - I'm pretty sure. It's the same as saying "I feel well"

Oh and feel is an intransitive verb in this instance... not a noun.

Hope that's correct.

Harry: Umm, clearly I'm interrupting. I feel badly. Let me... What are you drinking?
Harmony: Bad.
Harry: Bad? Sorry... feel...?
Harmony: You feel bad.
Harry: Bad?
Harmony: Badly is an adverb. So to say you feel badly would be saying that the machanism which allows you to feel is broken.

The dialogue from Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

If you say "you feel badly" it means you aren't very good at feeling. It's terrible English.

But when you say you feel good (or bad) - feel is an intransitive verb. The fact that you are describing this verb, means that good is still an adverb.

But if I were to say 'I have a good feeling" then it's an adjective, right, even though it's saying the same thing?

This language is ridiculous. Someone should be held accountable.

I disagree, I think it's an adjective in this context. "Bad" is describing you or, more likely, the state of your conscience. Compare, for example, "I turn bad" - "turn" is also an intransitive verb here, but "bad" doesn't describe it, it describes what you become.

It does hinge on whether "feel" is an intransitive verb or a noun.

As the seed of doubt has entered my mind, I looked it up and this was used as an example of its use as an intransitive verb: It feels good to be home and also I feel for him

I think that usage is the same as "I feel good".
