DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS PRETTY FUNNY?

 Talking about people who are funny is a great way to share stories and describe personalities. We often describe someone as funny when they make us laugh or tell good jokes. In English, we can use simple adjectives and present simple tense to talk about this topic. For example:

• My brother is very funny. He always tells jokes.

• I know a girl in my class. She is pretty funny and makes everyone smile.

At the A1 and A2 levels, it's useful to learn how to describe people and say how they make you feel. This topic helps practice descriptions, present simple, and likes/dislikes.
