I am a simple word.

To me, add a single letter, and it will make the opposite of me.

To me, add a different letter, and it will create my homophone.

To me, add a different letter, and I won't be so good.




Can you guess?

    For clarification, is each line adding on to the prior one, or is it all from the original word?

    If the title is meant to be a constraint to the type and location of the letter addition, may I strongly recommend you make that abundantly clear. Right now the puzzle per se only requires adding a single letter, vowel or consonant, at any place in the word - which may be your intent, but given the title I suspect not.
