The Good: The word "good" can have many different applications, but in general it refers to something that is morally right, ethical, or beneficial. It can also be used to describe something that is pleasant, desirable, or enjoyable. Philosophy is particularly concerned with the difficulties of defining the good.

Peter Geach on Good - Dictionary of Arguments

Stegmüller IV 182
"Good"/Geach: (this is in relation to the problems with the definition of "good".)
Def Attributive adjective: = predicate operator: builds on the meaning of those words to which it is related. E.g. counterfeit: "faked" Banknotes: new description with a new meaning.
Banknotes are not something that is a banknote and is also falsified.

Def Predicative adjective: E.g. "green". "x is a stone and x is green".

Test: Predicative: if "C" is a predicative adjective and x is an A and a B at the same time, then x, if it is a CA, must also be a CB.

Attributive: is "C" attributive and x is an A and a B at the same time, so x can be a CA WITHOUT having to be a CB.
Attributive: E.g. something that is a flea and also an animal can be a large flea without having to be a large animal at the same time.
Predicative: e.g. an object, which is a stone and green is also a green object.
