BW2/3  +  239199 Fri, 23 Jun 06 04:52 AM My sister has the same skirt you are wearing. We bought the same TV that your dad had given you. We went to the same school as your brother did. She loved the same man who my sister did. Are they OK? Thank you BW2/3 Joined on Sat, Oct 22 2005 Contributing Member 1,283 Carpe diem!!

	CalifJim  +  239226 Fri, 23 Jun 06 06:50 AM I would have said same school that your brother did or same school your brother did, but as your brother did is okay. The last one should be ... man that my sister did or just ...man my sister did. Otherwise, they are fine.

	BW2/3  +  239425 Fri, 23 Jun 06 09:48 PM Thank you Calijim, Can I also say " She loved the man whom my sister did"? Why I cannot say " the same man"? BW2/3 Whom

	CalifJim  +  239490 Sat, 24 Jun 06 02:04 AM Take the ellipsis dots ... in my previous post to include "same".  You can say "same man", yes. You can also say "whom" with or without "same", yes.  However, native speakers tend to avoid the word "whom" in informal contexts. CJ CalifJim Whom
