"In The Way That" Vs "In The Same Way As" Vs "How"?

subhajit123Member

Is there any difference between 'in the same way' and 'in the way'? Can I replace them with 'how'?

1- I completed my work in the way he did.

2- I completed my work how he did.

3- I completed my work in the same way as he did.

Hi, Subhajit—No, there is no real difference in meaning between those three sentences. Please note, however, that you have used what is called "sloppy ellipsis." Technically, "as/how he did" in your examples indicates "as/how he completed my work." Thus, you might consider saying this instead:

I completed my work (in) the (same) way / as/how he completed his.
