Dear teachers:

How can we describe something is interesting? Can we use "It's fun." or use "It's funny."?
And how can we distinguish these words? Can we use both of two words to describe things or people? Thanks a lot!


Best wishes,
Robert Chung

"It's fun." means I have a good time doing it; it's enjoyable.
"It's funny." means it makes me laugh.
