I had lived and studied on a university campus for five years before marriage, attending classes wearing T-shirts, shorts or pyjamas and even bathroom slippers.

What is the difference in meaning of the above sentences?
Please let me know if any minor difference is present especially in between first and third sentence.
Thanks

The first and third sentences mean the same. The second sentence is incorrect.

The first and third sentences mean the same. The second sentence is incorrect.

I always get confused with these types of sentences, I can not be able to figure out whether to use the original version(first sentence) or third version of the sentence?
Any suggestion please? Which grammatical part should I read?

As they mean the same, you can use either.

I can not be able to figure out whether ...

"Be able to" can be omitted.

Not a teacher.

Should be omitted. And "can not" is normally one word.

 

[Matthew Wai]

Some people like to write "can not", I cannot figure out whether it is grammatical.

Not a teacher.

 

[MikeNewYork]

It is grammatical. We normally write it with two words when we want to emphasize the "not", as one can do more easily in speech.

 

[Matthew Wai]

We we

Did you mean to emphasize "we"?

 

[MikeNewYork]

No. Without the mistaken repeat of "we" it meant exactly what it says.
