There are too many good people to talk to.
There are too many same cars as yours.
I couldn’t understand what the difference between two structure. In the first sentence I can use “too many” before “good” but someone told me to use “same” after “car” . Why we can’t use it before “same”? Is the second sentence wrong or should I say;
There are too many cars same as yours.
Whether it works depends on the context.
There are too many good people to talk to.
is ok because "good people" is a valid item. However,
There are too many same cars as yours.
is not valid, because there is no such thing as "same cars". So you might say:
There are too many cars (that are the) same as yours.
"cars" is fine. "same" is ok now because you moved it to a separate clause.
