1) His voice sounds so different that I thought it would sound.
2) His voice sounds so different that I expected It to sound/be. (Should I say sound or to be or both are correct?).
3) He wonder how he will be like in real life when I see him in person.


Did I construct the above sentences correctly?

Hi Jit833,

I think I know what you are trying to say. So I've given you a few more options to take a look at.

If you don't think it's right, let me know and I'll try to change it.

1) I thought his voice would sound different than what it is.

2) His voice sounds so different than what I expected.

3) I expected his voice to sound different.

4) I didn't think his voice would sound so different.

5) His voice does not match with the voice I expected him to have.

If you want to keep your sentences more or less the way they are, you could say:

"His voice sounds so different from how I thought it would (sound)."
"His voice sounds so different from how I expected it would (sound)."
"He wonders what he will be like in real life." (You could also use 'in person')

Thanks for replying and thanks for giving me more options on how to say it. It was really informative.
