Dido4  +  175404 Wed, 28 Dec 05 03:50 AM I don't know what situation I have to use with are or is in the following sentences. When should I use are or is? 1. What "is" the difference between A and B? 2. What "are" the differences between A and B? Thank you Dido4 Joined on Fri, Dec 23 2005 New Member 27 Difference Between

	Vorpar  +  175415 Wed, 28 Dec 05 05:50 AM "is" is singular, "are" is plural. The words they match in the above sentences are "difference" and "differences". "Difference" is singular, so you use "is". "Differences" is plural, so you use "are". Vorpar Joined on Tue, Sep 20 2005 Santa Barbara, CA Regular Member 940 Plurals

	CalifJim  +  175422 Wed, 28 Dec 05 06:59 AM Use Sentence 2 to emphasize that you want to find out more than one specific difference between A and B.  Otherwise use Sentence 1.  The answer will then be one or more differences, depending how many differences the addressee wants to mention.
