Answer 1

Why not use Split instead?

        var sentences = "hello how are you. I am good. that's good.";

        foreach (var sentence in sentences.TrimEnd('.').Split('.'))
            Console.WriteLine(sentence.Trim().Split(' ').Count());

Answer 2

Instead of looping over the string as you do in CountWords I would just use;

 int words = s.Split(' ').Length;

It's much more clean and simple. You split on white spaces which returns an array of all the words, the length of that array is the number of words in the string.
