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?
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!

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!
I remember that in the 1960s I believed the word "strokes" in "different strokes for different folks" referred to sexual intercourse. There are several AE phrases that started out with a sexual meaning, and gradually lost that and became harmless phrases anyone can use.
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.
Two circumstances are mentioned. Using "as different as" to introduce them suggests that they are very different indeed, and that they are just two examples representing extreme ends of a range of circumstances in which solutions may need to be applied by the organisation.
