are both sentences the same? #2 (permalink) Sat Jul 04, 2009 19:43 pm   are both sentences the same?
 

The first one makes no sense, and the second is not that much better. Just what are you trying to say?

Thank you very much, Alan Laughing

but I still have 2 questions!

No.1
what gets me now is whether i can place 'in' in front of 'the same way' or not? if not, why?

No.2
as for the 2nd sentence in the 1st post, if I change "said" with "did", aka, "you can say this in the same way as your fellow did". Does it make sense for native speakers? if not, why?

Hi dear Alan,
have you ever thought in giving us some english word roots, and structure, or send monthly in your newsletter, or even better to open a space in the site so we could check it out once in awhile. how about that ? or to make you work just once, suggest sites you trust and post them to us. does this one sounds better ?
