hey my friends my name is Terry welcome to my channel English for Terry in this
video I want to talk about a little word and that word is same alright just
little tips and tricks for you to use same correctly in your sentences let's
go English with Terry the first point is
about the pronunciation okay the a is same alright and strong
em it's not say me alright the e is pretty sort of silent like same try with
me same okay now when we use same in English we will
have the word there before if we want to compare two things something is it's the
same alright to say it's same mmm doesn't work in some languages a direct
translation this is correct in other languages but not in English so when we
say it's the same remaining it's identical or exactly similar right all
the computers here are the same we have the same name right
now when we want to compare two things we can also use the structure the same
as or the same thing as let me give you an example I'm the same as you is it I
am comparing myself to you maybe for example you say oh I'm very impatient
and you have another person who is a identical or extremely similar which I'm
the same as you or his phone is the same as her phone to mean that they bought
the identical kind of phone his phone is the same as okay this is the structure
you need to learn the same as this is what I want you to practice it's the
same as yesterday maybe the weather or the rain like today in Ireland yeah the
rain is the same as yesterday and it's the same as last month and it's
same as last year it always rains here but we cannot say it's the same like
yesterday this is the fundamental point we don't use like in this case it's the
same as now another way we can say is the same thing as or the same thing that
now let me be clear if we have here I have the same problem as you I have the
same problem that you have so when we use same as after we will use a pronoun
they have the same phone as me you him or us them I live in the same city as
him as her right so after as we will have the pronoun or
we could have a time or we can have a word about the time right the class is
the same time as last week right if I have a class with a student and it was
3:00 p.m. on a Tuesday and I say ah the class this week is the same time as last
week 3:00 p.m. Tuesday or this winter is the same as last year to mean that the
winter now is extremely similar identical to last year but when we use
the same that will use the person and then the verb for example I have the
same problem that you have she has the same phone that I have in this case
we're using that to connect two sentences now it's almost the same
meaning the same idea I mean I can say the same I have the same phone as you or
I have the same phone that you have it's the same idea it's the same thing it's
just a little variation in the structure but it's important that you get it that
you understand that but the important point is to say not to use this
construction I have the same phone like you this is better to say I have the
same phone as you or I have the same phone that you have but be
careful between the difference not to say I have the same phone than you have
then is a different construction that we use in comparing stuff so be careful
it's always that in this case okay guys I hope you liked the video please click
