Let's learn something new!

1. Different from:

   • "Different from" is the traditionally accepted and more commonly used phrase. It is generally preferred in formal writing and standard English.
   • Example: "Her style is different from her sister's." Here, "different from" is used to compare her style with her sister's style.
   • Example: "The new plan is different from the old one." In this sentence, "different from" is used to compare the new plan with the old plan.

2. Different than:

   • "Different than" is also used, particularly in American English, but is less common and sometimes considered less formal. It can be more convenient when followed by a clause rather than a noun.
   • Example: "The situation turned out differently than I expected." Here, "different than" is followed by a clause, making it a more concise choice.
   • Example: "He felt different than he did before the surgery." In this sentence, "different than" is used to compare his feelings now with how he felt before the surgery.
