Are these sentence correct?

Question

Are these sentence correct? And have the same meaning?

1. She told me her address, which I wrote down on a piece of paper.
2. She had told me her address, which I wrote down on a piece of paper.
3. She told me her address, which I had written down on a piece of paper.

Answer 1

1 is fine.

#2 should read: "She had told me her address, which I had written down

on a piece of paper."

#3 should be corrected to read like #1 or the corrected #2.

Answer 2

Using the past perfect: "had written, had seen, had gone, etc." signifies that the action has been completed at the moment in which the sentence is situated.

All three sentences are correct, but have slightly different meanings.



Sentence 1 simply states a succession of 2 events in the past. First, she told you the address, and immediately thereafter you wrote it down on a piece of paper.



Sentence 2 implies that when you wrote down the address, she had already told it to you at some point in the past (sentences 1 and 2 could occur in the same context, but sentence 1 emphasizes the immediate succession of the two actions, and sentence 2 emphasizes the fact that the act of telling has been completed when the writing occurs).



Sentence 3 implies that at the moment she told you her address, you had already, at some point in the past, written it down.

Answer 3

1 & 2 are the same.

3 has a slightly different meaning. It sounds like it had already been written down at an earlier time.

Answer 4

1. She told me her address, which I wrote down on a piece of paper.



Technically correct, though, the use of the word "told" just irks me here.



2. She had told me her address, which I wrote down on a piece of paper.



This is correct if you're speaking in past tense. If she gave you the address prior to today, then yes, it's correct.



3. She told me her address, which I had written down on a piece of paper.



Also correct.



They don't mean precisely the same thing because they are all in different forms: past tense and present tense. They essentially get the same idea across.

Answer 5

2 doesnt' sound right. I don't think that it is correct. 1 & 3 are good, but don't mean the same thing.

Answer 6

they are all right

the first one is a declarative statement.

the second and third seem like statements made that should be followed by but i forgot or i left the paper at home. basically they have the same meaning. context would give them a different meaning. all them mean you wrote down her address when she told you what it was.

Answer 7

Sentence 3 is correct

Answer 8

They mean the same thing but they are at different times.

Answer 9

They are all grammatically correct.

Answer 10

i dont think the 3rd one is sentance correct

means all the same btw
