This is one of the nicest things you can say to someone who just got good news. “Congratulations” is fine for winning the lottery, but “well deserved” is reserved for people who put in the effort and the time and took the risk to get somewhere.

As verbs the difference between deserved and deserve is that deserved is (deserve) while deserve is to be entitled to, as a result of past actions; to be worthy to have.

After means ‘later than’ and ‘next in time or place’. … After or afterwards as an adverb. We can use after as an adverb, but afterwards is more common. When after is used, it is usually as part of an adverb phrase: …

igitur: This conjunction is postpositive, meaning that the conjunction is “placed (-positive) after (post-)” the first word of a sentence. Note, however, that being postpositive does not always mean that the conjunction must be the second word of the sentence necessarily.

Meaning-change Adjectives Some adjectives can mean different things depending on their placement. When placed after the noun, the adjective has a fairly objective, descriptive meaning. When placed before the noun, the adjective has a more subjective meaning.

Adjectives are usually placed before the nouns they modify, but when used with linking verbs, such as forms of to be or “sense” verbs, they are placed after the verb. The latter type of adjective is called a predicative adjective.

Generally, the adjective order in English is:

1. Quantity or number.
2. Quality or opinion.
3. Size.
4. Age.
5. Shape.
6. Color.
7. Proper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or material)
8. Purpose or qualifier.

Simply put, an adjective is a word you use to describe a person, place, or thing. An adjective modifies nouns or pronouns. Without adjectives, we wouldn’t know if you had a serene vacation or a disastrous vacation.

Good is an adjective. It modifies (describes) a noun. In each case, the adjective good is modifying a noun. Good should never be used as an adverb (modifying a verb).

Good modifies a noun; something can be or seem good. All you need to remember when you are pondering whether good or well is best for your sentence is that good modifies a person, place, or thing, whereas well modifies an action. If you’re having a good day, then your day is going well. Did you do good on your exams?

As detailed above, ‘best’ can be an adjective, an adverb, a verb or a noun.
