It may be different (with/from) each family, but there are similarities. How would you describe the difference between "different with" and "different from" in the given sentence?
Hi, I understand that the adjective 'différent' can be used before and after the noun in French. Can somebody explain to me what the difference in meaning is? Thanks Moderator note: Multiple threads have been merged to create this one.
In several different scenes in the film, we see the eponymous characters at different stages of their marriage. If I wish to use the word "time" to talk about how the film is set, does the following sentence make sense? These scenes are set at different times of their marriage: some good, and others bad. Thank you as always, everyone!
Which one of the following is correct in the following context? Why Islamabad and How it is different? Why Islamabad and How is it different? P.S. Islamabad is the capital city of Pakistan. Thanks!
"There have been widely differing versions in the newspapers about the prison siege." Why not use "different" here? Both are right? If right, same meaning? If same which is common and better in native English?
Greetings, Is there a difference between these two sentences? Are they both correct? 1. How different is the French in Quebec to the French spoken in...
To answer your question: The noun ['problems' or 'traits'], not the word 'different', tells you whether to use the singular or plural verb. In your phrases the nouns are plural, so the verb has to be plural to match them. 'Different' is an adjective, describing the noun that follows, and it has no relation to or influence on the verb.
In a recent post, the questioner used an example that included the phrase "different than". Since that wasn't the point of the question, I thought I'd start a new thread: I strongly prefer "different from". Do you agree?
Can one say a. You are not very different from your brother. b. You are not much different from your brother. ? The sentences are mine. I think both work. Funnily enough, (b) sounds more natural to me, although 'different' is an adjective and 'much' is not used with adjectives. Many thanks.
When the reader can’t know what’s being omitted and it’s not clear that there are more items in the list, etc. may signal laziness or dishonesty. In lazy moments, some writers use etc. when they know of only one or two examples but want to create the impression that there are more. Any engaged reader can see through this trick.
