[Grammar] as I

[palinkasocsi]

Dear Friends,

Which of the following is correct:

1. He learnt in the same school as I.
2. He learnt in the same school as I did.
3. He learnt in the same school as me.

I guess only the third is incorrect.

What do you think?

Hello,
I'm very sure #1 and #2 are correct.
About #3: I have the feeling a lot of persons would use it, but I also think it's incorrect.

Cheers!

2. He learnt in the same school as I did.
3. He learnt in the same school as me.

The first two are correct in Traditional Grammar.
The third is what most people, including me, often say.

***** NOT A TEACHER *****

Good morning, Palinkasocsi.

(1) I strongly feel that most Americans would be more comfortable

in saying that "He STUDIED at the same school."

I believe that "learned" is not really the "correct" word for this

sentence.

(2) I feel that "He learned at the same school" sounds very strange to

native speakers.

(3) A few weeks ago, a teacher explained the difference between "study" and "learn." I do not know how to link to it. Maybe someone else will do it.

Have a nice day!

We study in order to learn.Studying is a process, while learning is the outcome.
Am I right?
E.g.: I have studied a lot last year, but I am not sure whether I learned enough to take the exam.

Well, sure, I'd never say that particular sentence either. But that wasn't the point. The question is 'as I' or 'as me'.

He went to the same school as I.
He went to same school as me.

Is that better?

Do you use "that" instead of as?

Do you use "that" instead of as?

You can say, "He went to the same school that I did".
But that's a different sentence and, "He went to the same school that me" is definitely wrong and no one would say it.

Yes, but there's some overlap and you'll see study used for the outcome often enough.
