Learn English – “It feels so good” vs. “I feel so good” vs. “It makes me feel so good”

sentence-choicesentence-meaning

What are the differences between following sentences, in terms of meaning?

It feels (so) good

I feel (so) good

It makes me feel (so) good


For me it sounds like we need a driver/thing to say "it feels so good". For example, when we return to our parents' house after a long journey in the Himalayas, we can say "It feels so good to be home again." But we can say "I feel good" with or without a reason. We can say "Today is a beautiful day and I feel so good". Because a beautiful day is probably nice, but not too surprising, even in the UK:) But how about when we hear a song that makes us happy, or when we read an impressive novel, or stay at home to relax?

And I don't know how to say this, but when we say "it feels so good", does it have double entendres?

Best Answer

I'm going to take an innocuous example - taking a shower…

Taking a shower feels so good

I enjoy simply the feeling of the water, the heat [or coolness, depending on the current weather]

I feel so good, when I'm taking a shower

I get a feeling of satisfaction from doing something healthy & cleansing.

It makes me feel so good, that I want to take more showers.

…hmm… maybe my choice of innocuous subject wasn't quite so innocuous - there are always going to be double-entendre opportunities in any form of 'enjoyment'.
