Hello,
Are you having fun today?
I am sure you know the words “fun” and “funny”.
Fun is often used as a noun…for example:
I am having lots of fun!
Funny is always used as an adjective…for example:
My teacher is very funny!
But did you know that fun can also be used as an adjective?
Look at our phrase of the day to see an example…
You’re so much fun!!!
The word “fun” acts as an adjective in this sentence…
It is describing “you” and saying that you are the type of person I can have lots of fun with.
Try to use this phrase next time you meet someone fun…
And remember to have lots of fun learning English!
Best regards,
Marta
Hello everyone,
How are you today?
I bet you have read the article by my colleague Sarah
about “make” and “do”.
English learners usually get confused with these verbs.
Two other verbs that tend to be confusing are “miss” and “lose”.
Sometimes, I hear my students saying:
“I was late and I lost the bus….” (Lost is the past tense of lose)
And I then reply:
´Oh really? How did you lose it? It’s very big… and was it your bus?´
Because they have not lost the bus… they have missed it.
You lose something when you do not know where it is.
Like my best friend Sally who doesn’t lose her head because it is attached to her body… :-S
However you miss something when you are late and it has passed or it is over
I was late and I missed the plane.
Also, you can miss things, places and people when they are far away….
Like me…. I miss my hometown.
Yet, I love Barcelona and my students so that makes me feel much better when I get nostalgic missing Brighton….
Take care and have a nice day….
Marta
