Telling a joke
What is a joke? Do you know any jokes in English?
Telling a joke is a great way to practice your English but can be very hard to do correctly.
To tell a good joke, you need two parts: a set-up and a punchline.
| Set-up | The story that starts the joke. It leads to the funny part of the joke |
| Punchline | The funny part of the joke |
Example
- A duck walks into a bar and orders a drink. The bartender asks how he will pay for his drink. The duck says, “Put it on my bill.”
