How to say this sentece correctly:

In the present time:


1. If we were in the same school, maybe it would be much different. (should I put maybe) ?

Or

If we were in a same school, it would be much different. ?

Or

If we were in same school, it would be much different. ?

Or

using 'are' instead of 'were' ? and 'will' instead of "would" ?

Please help me.

I want to say this sentece correctly to my girlfriend. Please give the best sentence.

Or I should say oppositely ? Like:

It would be much different if we were in the same school ?

If we were both at the same school, it would all be different/everything would be different.

Actually the problem is like this, currently, both of us are studying at different school. And I feel very odd and the condition of both of us are bad.
I would like to say to her that, if now both of us are/were in same school, the condition would be better. Or (it would be much different).

So how to say it actually?

 

[Anglika]

What I wrote previously would fit this - but you could also say: If we both went to the same school, the whole situation would be very different.

"Condition" is not the word I would use in this context, and you cannot use "much" with "different".

By 'odd' I think you mean that you feel you don't fit in, and possible do not have many friends.
How about:
If we went to the same school, it would be much better for both of us.
or
If we went to the same school, we'd both be a lot happier.

I prefer the second way of putting it/expressing it.

 

[jomo27]

Is it fine to put "a same school" besides "the same school" ?

I would like to put like this: If we we were in a same school, maybe it would be different.

 

[Anglika]

No - it has to be the.

You could say "If we were in a school together..." [you would not need "same" in this construct as you say "together"].

 

[jomo27]

Allright then.

Is okay to put: "If we were in the same school, everything would be different" ?

 

[Anglika]

Yes! Perfect ;-)

 

[jomo27]

Thanks!

Last question:

What's the difference of using "If we were both.." and "If we were.."
Are they the same?

 

[Anglika]

The "both" emphasizes that this relates to you and the other person.

 

[jomo27]

Allright.

Understood.

Thanks a lot!
