What's the difference vs what difference does it make
Hi,
Could you please help me with this? I don't know which is correct and how to finish the sentences?
1 What's the difference if I go or not.
2 Whats the difference what I do with my time/where I go.
3 What difference does it make if the sauce is made over low heat and high heat.
4 What difference does it make when I omit the preposition 'of'?
Do the above sentence mean :
1 What do you care where I go.
2 What does it matter where I go.
3 What does where I go matter.
Thank you

"What difference does it make" is commonly used to suggest that the choice of either option is meaningless or irrelevant. "What's the difference" used in the same way is not good grammar. What difference does it make whether I go or stay?
