Fun

FUN/fʌn/

A good time is fun: have fun, a lot of fun. Fun is usually a noun here, not “a fun” in older careful English — though a fun day is now common. Funny means it makes you laugh (a funny film). The party was fun is the enjoyment meaning.

Meaning

Enjoyment; a good time.

Examples

  • “The party was a lot of fun.”
  • “We had fun at the park.”
  • “Swimming is fun in hot weather.”

Good to know

have fun / a lot of fun. funny = makes you laugh (different word).
