"Hi everyone, I feel good"

"I feel good today"

"I feel [now] that you should not have said that to her." or "I felt [at that time] that you should not have said that to her."

"I feel hurt when you say that" -- now or "I felt hurt when you said that"-- in the past

"Yes, Amanda is right [now]" or "Yes, Amanda was right [then]"

"He died for his country. He was a good soldier." -- He is dead, therefore he 'was'.

"I saw him run away" -- 'run' is an infinitive: I saw him run, I will see him run, I see him run, I have seen him run, etc.

"take three capsules daily after a meal". Take just 3 capsules after your choice of one meal in a day


One good grammar book is Michael Swan's Practical English Usage.
