1 fun: "Fun" is the better term to use here. Here, the noun "fun" means "a pleasant time". Another example: "We had fun at the football match".
1 funny: This is incorrect. "Funny" is used to describe something strange, or something which makes us laugh. Neither of these are appropriate to describe a nice dinner.
2 funny: "Funny" is the correct answer. Here, "funny" means "strange" or "unusual" in a negative way. Here's another example: "My stomach feels funny, I think I'm going to be sick."
2 fun: This is incorrect. We can't really use "fun" to describe the taste of a food, whether it's good or bad.
3 fun: "Fun" is the better term to use in this sentence. The expression "no fun" generally means "really unpleasant" or "without amusement". Example: "I waited for the bus for two hours. It was no fun!".
3 funny: This is incorrect. "No funny" is not an English idiom.
4 fun: This is the right choice. Frank really enjoyed his ride in the ambulance: he had a great evening! To "have fun" is to enjoy oneself!
4 funny: This is incorrect. Something that is thrilling or exciting is often described as "fun". "Funny" is more appropriate for things that are humorous or weird. Moreover, we need a noun here, and "funny" is an adjective.
