Here's the question that I uploaded yesterday. And I'd like to know if I understand right after reading the answers.
A girl talked to John yesterday.
I met a girl in the library today.
The two girls are the same person.
- The girl who talked to John yesterday is the same person as the one that I met in the library today.
- I met the same girl in the library as the one who talked to John yesterday.
- The same girl as the one who talked to John yesterday is the person that I met in the library today.
Here, these 3 sentences are too wordy for anyone to use in real life. And after checking into the answers, I've corrected in a way that I think they are all right.
- The girl who talked to John yesterday is the same person (as or that or who) I met in the library today.
- I met the same girl in the library (as or who or that) talked to John yesterday.
- The same girl (as or who or that) talked to John yesterday is the person that I met in the library today.
I think we use 'that' or 'who(m)' here to modify a noun 'girl' , but when it comes to a situation where we use an adjective 'same', we can also use 'as' because the basic form is like this : the same one as the one (who / that). we don't use this form because it is too wordy to use though. So, I think 'the same (noun)' can be modified by using***'as'***, 'that', 'who(m)'..., while just a noun can not be modified by using 'as'
