Saying good luck is a common way to encourage a friend, colleague, or loved one before a big or small endeavor. You might say “good luck” before a competition, presentation, test, or job interview, but it works for ordinary situations, too.
“Good luck” can be used by itself (e.g., “Good luck!”) or in the following ways:
As a noun phrase (e.g., “I’m thinking of you and sending good luck!”)
As a compound adjective with a hyphen (e.g. “I’m sending you all the good-luck vibes on your first day of work!)
When you write a good luck message with a person’s name, place a comma before the name (e.g., “Good luck, Ted!”).
“Good luck” isn’t the only way to show support. Depending on the situation and your relationship with the person, you can substitute “good luck” with one of the synonyms below.
