Different from vs Different than



Different from means not the same.e.g -- Sara's taste is different from mine.Different than -- In US English, than is an alternative to from before a clause.e.g -- Sara's appearance was very different than I'd expected.NOTE : different than is generally always wrong when comparing two nouns. Different than is only correct when a sentence compares a noun and a clause.



that's all

Could you explain more please ..

Can I say ..

Sara's taste is different than the others. "?"

sorry for being late but i dont log in here much
and thax btw

القاعده الاساسية ان different دائما تجي مع حرف الجر from
لكن في حالات شاذه قد تاتي مع than في الامريكان انجلش
وفي البريتش انجلش تاتي different TO

^^^^
ماعلينا

so its
someone is different from someone else
but

someone is taller than someone else

Iphon is different from Blakberry
Tom is different from John
my opinion is different from yours
My house is different from Jill’s house
and so on
comparing between two nouns

لكن متى نستخدم than بعد different
لما تكون عندنا بعد than جملة (clause)
يعني نقارن بين جمليتن وليس كلمتين او اسمين

e.g
The situation is a lot different today than it was yesterday
.
notice that after the word than there is a clause

يعني باختصار نستخدم from مع كلمة different دااائما لما نجي نقارن بين شخصين اوو كلميتن اوو شيئين ..
لكن في حالات شاذة قد يستخدم than اذا كنت تقارن بين جملتين اوو حتى شبه جملة
وو اذا احترت مرة وش تستخدم فالخيار الافضل انه from لانه هو القاعده الاساسية

في جملتك اللي انت كتبتها
Sara's taste is different than the others

مانقدر نستخدم than ليه ؟
لان المقارنة هنا بين شخصين موبين جملتين

فالافضل انقول
sara's taste is different from the others
or
Sara's taste is different than it used to be

hope you got it now
