Hello!

Please could someone tell me

Can I say so:

Everything changes and I'm not the same as before...

or I must say:

Everything changes and I'm not the same as I was before...

Thanks...

Hello. Thank you very much!
I read this message (What is a meaningful message title and why is it important?).
I agree with it. I'll try to give my topics clear titles.
Thank you...

Can I say: everything has been changed and I am not the same as I was before?

Hi Pipii,

That's not likely, though an unusual context may make it correct.
You are far more likely to say:
Everything has changed and I am not the same as I was before.
