Is this sentence correct?

How about, "Tell your friends what a kind person he is that you met."

Many Pre-thanks ~~~

Hi Pructus,

I might say 'Tell you friends what a kind person you have (just) met'.

'Tell your friends what a kind person he is that you have met.'

'Tell your friends how kind he is.'

Best wishes,

PBF

Hi pructus

You can say either:
"Tell your friends what a kind person you met."
-OR-
"Tell your friends what a kind person he is."

But I wouldn't combine the two the way you did in your second sentence.
