My students always confuse these two words.

So I hope to clarify their meanings and usage in this video and by the end of the video you will have mastered these two words.

So keep watching.

Mhm Let's start with the word fun.

It is an uncountable noun or an adjective.

It means pleasure and enjoyment.

Let's take a look at some examples.

The first sentence says, I hope you have fun in this case it's an uncountable noun.

It's something that you can have.

It means a good time.

I hope you have fun means I hope you have a good time studying.

English is fun in this case fun is used as an adjective, it means an enjoyable time studying.

English is an enjoyable time or it's very enjoyable.

Now I will talk about funny, it's an adjective which means causing laughter.

We don't use funny to mean enjoyable.

So fun and funny are a little different in meaning.

So be careful.

Let's look at some example sentences he told a funny joke.

This joke is meant to be funny.

It's meant to make people laugh and so we describe it as funny.

That is a funny tv show.

A lot of comedy tv shows make people laugh, They have jokes and so again we can describe it as funny.

Now let's do a checkup in this conversation.

There are two sentences in one of the sentences.

We should use fun and in the other sentence we should use funny.

Take a moment to think about where we use fun and funny person A says did you have blank at the circus?

The word have is a clue that we need a noun.

Remember.

Fun can be a noun.

Did you have fun at the circus or did you have a good time at the circus person?

B says yes.

The clowns were so blank clowns make people laugh.

They do silly things.

So here the word to use is funny.

Yes.

The clowns were so funny.

Now you know the difference between fun and funny?

They can be confusing so please take the time to use them correctly.

Thank you guys so much for watching and I'll see you in the next video.
