“A rugby ball is a different shape from a football” or “A rugby ball has a different shape from a football” ?
Hi everyone, which of the two sentences is correct? Using Google, i found that sometimes “is a different shape” and sometimes “has a different shape” is used. I don’t know which is correct or whether both are correct. I have always used “has a different shape”. Thanks for your help.

I like this one better:
A rugby ball is shaped differently than a soccer or football.
Just sound more precise to me…
Good luck!

I think the ball HAS a shape, but it’s a pretty picky point, and either one is probably fine. Also, in both cases, I’d probably use the word “than” instead of “from.” But I don’t know if that makes it any more correct, either.
You could also say, “Rugby balls and footballs are shaped differently.”
Hope that helps!
