Which ones of the following sentences are correct:

1-He may not have been a nice fellow but surely he wasn't a criminal like you said.
2-He may not have been a nice fellow but surely he wasn't a criminal like you described him.
3-He may not have been a nice fellow but surely he wasn't a criminal like you described him to be.
4-He may not have been a nice fellow but surely he wasn't a criminal like you claimed him to be.

All sound OK to me

 

[Tdol]

I'd use the first, though. ;-)

 

[RonBee]

Which ones of the following sentences are correct:

1-He may not have been a nice fellow but surely he wasn't a criminal like you said.
2-He may not have been a nice fellow but surely he wasn't a criminal like you described him.
3-He may not have been a nice fellow but surely he wasn't a criminal like you described him to be.
4-He may not have been a nice fellow but surely he wasn't a criminal like you claimed him to be.

Like Tdol, I would use the first one. (They could all use some punctuation.)

Here's another possiblity:

• He may not have been a nice fellow, but surely he wasn't the criminal you have made him out to be.

Or:

• He may not have been a nice fellow, but surely he wasn't the criminal you have portrayed him as.

I agree with whl626; but, I gotta admit that RonBee's additions are mighTy fine, indeed.
