El problema es (SER)
La diferencia es...
In Spanish, the verb ser (to be) works slightly differently to how we would use it in English.
For example: El problema son dos cosas.
In this sentence, the verb “to be” is in the 3rd person plural to agree with the 2 cosas, even though the noun is singular. This is because in Spanish ser agrees with what follows, whereas in English we would say “The difference is 2 things” or “2 things are the difference”.
