It's funny...or it's fun?!

I had a really funny weekend!

If I had a euro...even 50 cents...for every time I've heard this mistake, I would be a millionaire...or at least close to it! Don't worry, it's not your fault English is so ridiculous! In Spanish and Italian, there is just one word to describe fun/funny, so of course you're confused. But trust me, if you remember 1 simple rule, you'll be sure to sound like a native speaker when you use these adjectives!

FUN vs. FUNNY

FUN	FUNNY
Something is fun when it is enjoyable or pleasurable. It is a word that can be used to describe a situation, an event, or even a person. It can be used as an adjective (with the verb to be) AND as a noun (following the verb to have).	Something (or someone) is funny when it makes you laugh - HA HA HA! The sole purpose of the object, situation or person is to entertain and make people happy. It can be used ONLY as an adjective with the verb to be.
The party was fun (adjective with the verb "to be"). I had fun at the party (noun with the verb "to have).	​The movie was so funny! I laughed the entire time. My dog is so funny, he barks at the cats on TV!
​A person can be fun - He is a fun teacher, he always organizes interesting activities for his students.	​and a person can also be funny - He is a funny teacher, he always tells jokes in class to make his students smile.

You see?! Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Okay okay, I know, it's not suuuuper easy. But I hope this explanation helps a bit! And if you're already my student, next time I hear you confuse these two words in class, you owe me a euro😝.

P.S.: there is no glossary today because I don't see any crazy difficult or new words, but leave me a comment if you have a doubt about anything!
