She looks good! = Everything about her is good This wine tastes terrific. = This wine is terrific This station’s music sounds boring. = The music is boring.   When we are working with verbs of senses “feel, taste, sounds etc..) Adjectives are acceptably used as adverbs.   She looks well does not carry the same meaning as “she looks good”   If we say “Jordan looked sickly this morning”, people may not know what you exactly mean.     Goodman Joined on Mon, Nov 7 2005 Senior Member 3,816 The name says it all!

Wwhat this is the translation of this sentence? ” To taste something is to put some of it into your mouth in order to decide if it's good or not.   If you taste something strangely, you put it in your mouth in a strange way to decide if it's good.  (Maybe you balance it on your finger and turn your head to left and stick out your tongue and do all kinds of strange things like that when you taste things.)  So if the soup tastes things strangely, then the soup is putting things in its mouth in a strange way to decide if they're good.  But soup doesn't have a mouth and soup can't taste things, so you see that This soup tastes strangely is complete nonsense!   CJ  CalifJim Joined on Mon, Aug 2 2004 California Veteran Member 22,385 "There are no facts, only interpretations" - Nietzsche Verbs, Adverbs, Translation
