Can you understand English jokes? Understanding humour in English is a sign that you’ve reached a new level! In this video, I’ll introduce you to a few examples of verbal humour. I’ll explain how these examples work and what makes them funny. Puns are used in everyday speech and also in newspaper headlines, so this lesson is relevant to spoken and written English. Many puns follow similar patterns, so once you understand how some of them work, you will be able to understand new ones you encounter on your own. engvid.com/advanced-english-vocabulary-puns-double-meanings
