Default Re: Can I use 'clever' to mean each of the definitions?

Hi susan,

1.He learnt to sit and stay in five minutes. He's a very intelligent/bright dog!


2.It was really intelligent/bright of him to think of using superglue. It would never have occurred to me in a thousand years.

3. It was really intelligent/bright how she convinced David that he wanted to do exactly what she had decided - and to make him believe it was his own idea.

4.He's got a promotion board tomorrow and today he goes and tells his boss he's an idiot??? Well, that was really intelligent/bright of him.

Is it OK to use intelligent or bright in these examples here?

Thanks for your reply.
