What's the difference - 1?

FUN / FUNNY

Students often confuse these two words and use them as synonyms. However, these words do not have the same meaning.

Fun can be used as a noun or an adjective to describe something that is enjoyable.

We had a lot of fun at the party.

Horseriding is fun.

Funny is an adjective we use to describe something that makes us laugh.

The Life of Brian is a very funny film.

John makes me laugh, he tells the funniest
jokes.
