come on let's learn together there are many ways to learn English and today
we'll be discussing and studying how to understand jokes in English first I have
seen that many English learners tend to get mixed up on the difference between
fun and funny we use fun to talk about something that provides us with
entertainment it is enjoyable and we use funny to talk about something that makes
us laugh something that is humorous so an example of fun would be wow I had fun
at the party last Saturday an example of funny would be wow my friend Donna told
me a funny joke yesterday basically fun is when you enjoy yourself and have a
good time we use funny to talk about something that makes us laugh that joke
is funny you wouldn't want to say that joke is fun what we could say that
comedy show was funny in today's lesson we will learn a type of joke called a
pun a pun is a joke that makes use of words that have more than one meaning or
words that sound like one another to understand upon joke
you need to under to understand both meanings of the words today I will tell
you five joke jokes that are puns and explain the meaning of these jokes the
first joke the past present and future walk into a bar it was tense what's the
joke we have to look at the double meaning of the word tense tense can mean
the set of forms taken by a verb to talk to indicate time for example past tense
present tense future tense tense can also mean anxiety
or nervousness in a situation so in this joke the grammatical past present and
future were in a bar together which made this for a tense or nervous situation
the past the present in the future walk into a bar it was tense
the next joke is this one doctor doctor will you help me out
the doctor says sure which way did you come in what's the joke the joke is a
play on the expression to help somebody out the first meaning of this expression
is help somebody out a phrasal verb to help somebody out to do something to
help somebody with a problem for example I can't do math well can you help me out
the other meaning is help somebody out of somewhere for example to help
somebody get out of a car to help somebody get out of a room so in this
joke the person is probably asking the doctor for medical help but
doctor thinks the person needs help to get out of the building
doctor doctor can you help me out sure which way did you come in the next joke
is between a teacher and a student the teacher says I wish you'd pay a little
attention the student says I'm paying as little attention as I can what's the
joke this joke relies on the difference between a little and little little in
this joke is rather negative meaning not much attention to the teacher a little
in this joke is more positive could you please show more attention so the
teacher says to the student I wish you'd pay a little attention the student says
I'm paying as little attention as I can this thing on question why didn't the
skeleton go to the party because he had no body to go with what's the joke this
joke plays on the double meaning of the words no body and the word nobody we say
nobody because the skeleton only has bones it doesn't have a body and the
word nobody meaning no person to go with so this joke can either mean that the
skeleton that only has bones didn't want to go to the party because it doesn't
have a body
or that the skeleton has no friends and it had nobody no person to go to the
party with why didn't the skeleton go to the party because he had no body to go
with
and the next joke is another question-and-answer joke why is the
celebrity so cool because she has a lot of fans what's the joke
the junk actually has two double meanings the first is the word cool
meaning to have a low temperature and cool meaning an awesome person the
second double meaning is the word fans fans meaning the device with blades that
spins around to help keep your body cool and fans meaning a person who has a
strong interest in some other person or some thing so the celebrity could be
cool because they're using a fan to cool their body or the celebrity might be
cool because a lot of people their fans are interested in them why is the
celebrity so cool because she has a lot of fans what jokes do you know why don't
