| Today, we're going to talk about 'what different place is famous for?'. |
In the above, I wonder why the speaker used 'different place' instead of 'different places'.
Is 'different place' correct grammatically?
I think it a better sentence that "Today, we're going to talk about 'what different places are famous for?'" but I'm not sure.
I'm looking forward to your answer.
Thanks.  |

Either of two versions would be correct:
(for one place) "Today, we're going to talk about what a different place is famous for." (You're right about needing "a" before "different place")
(for more than one place) "Today, we're going to talk about what different places are famous for." |
