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!
Listening to different languages and different dialects of the same language I noticed that they differ not only by the different aspects of articulation of vowels like high/low, frontal/back, open/closed and different pitch, but also by a quality that I never found described or classified in...
Which option sounds better? "If so, then his view is not different from the standard one." "If so, then his view is no different from the standard one." Thanks for your help.
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!
Fabulist, thanks for sheding light on difference between 'different to' and 'different from' as well . Forero, so the sentences are OK apart from using 'ain't'?
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.
The question is almost like "why are there different words that have the same meaning?" (E.g.: "car" and "automobile".) Surely you must have synonyms in Russian, too, no? The answer sociological: many cultures and languages have all had their impacts on the English language. I think the exercise was getting you to learn the right one for each word... as that largely needs to be learned by rote.
Could someone please give me an example how to use the phrase: "On a different note"? Is this OK: "Kelly and I are going to the movies tonight. On a different note, how was your test yesterday?" Thanks, Joel
Hello there, everybody- I know "different" is an adjective while "differently" is an adverb, but how do I know when to use one or another in a sentence...
