Fun or funny?
Hi people!
I've always had problems finding the difference between these two words and knowing when to use each one. Could to explain the difference to me and give some examples?
E.g.: Is going to the theatre fun or funny? (I suppose it is "fun")
If "fun" is a noun, why do we use it in a similar way to an adjective? (Is this correct, or should I say "as an adjective"? If not, what should I say?)
Thanks a lot!

'Fun' is also an adjective. A 'funny' thing makes you smile or laugh, whereas a 'fun' thing is a thing that you enjoy doing, it's amusing. Sextus

Yes,
"it was fun" = I enjoyed myself, I had a good/great time
"it was funny" = it made me laugh
