sentence transformation
 
Hello guys, here �s the thing:
 
I have this sentence transformation and I am out of ideas 
 
"I feel better after taking that medicine," said Steven.
 HAD: Steven said that taking the medicine ...........................good.
 
Any ideas, anyone?:(

Hi,
This is how I would change the sentence using "had": Steven said that taking the medicine had made him feel better.
I hope this helps!

but it should end with the word GOOD

However weird that sounds, perhaps that was the intention of the sentence author:
 
" Steven said that taking the medicine had made him feel so good".
 
 let �s keep our fingers crossed

I can be really dumb! Of course the sentence ends in "good"!
So I think joannajs is absolutely right!

I think that one way to do to successfully transform this sentence can run as follows: 
 
 Steven said that taking medicine made him feel more than good. I hope it sounds well.

 What about:
Had I taken the medicine, I wood feel good.

"Had made him feel good." can be correct if you are talking about his emotional state.
 
If we talk about health, we always use "well"  How are you? I´m very well.
 
John doesn´t feel very well.
 
When you describe someone´s emotional state, we use" good "
 
I don´t feel good about breaking up with Peter.
 
Hope this helps!
