Entropy!

Hia everyone! I'm just on the entropy topic and trying to understand the different relationships between gibbs free energy, enthalpy change and change in entropy. (ch5 work)
If I'm right;
exothermic reactions --> tend to be feasible if -
endothermic reactions---> + therefore tend not to be feasible
Entropy--> + means feasible
--> - not feasible
Gibbs free energy --> - feasible
--> + means not feasible

Am I right so far and the fact that enthalpy change of endothermic reactions mean a spontaneous reaction is not totally unfeasible but fetermined by the free energy calculated by the equation deltaG= deltaH - T deltaS
sorry just trying to get my head around it
Thanks
Any reaction is feasible if the change in free energy (ΔG) is negative - which is a combination of the enthalpy and entropy in the equation you've mentioned.
