Dears:

1) when there are over 1 difference between 2 objects, should we use 'What are differences between xx and yy' ?
2) when we compare over 2 objects, should we use 'What's the difference among xxx and yyy and zzz' ?
3) When will you use 'What are differences...' and can we add (the/their/these/those) ?
