| Aug 4, 2020 at 7:48 | comment | added | user64814 | I like to learn every kind of construction. I like to learn the construction that means the car is identical to the one the other person bought you but is a different car (different registration number and maker's serial number), and the construction that means it is the the actual car the other person bought you. | |

| Aug 4, 2020 at 7:21 | comment | added | BoldBen | All three of your third person statements are correct (although there are subtle differences in meaning) but none of your six first person ones is quite what a native speaker would say in any context. I'm not quite clear what you are trying to say. Is it that the car is identical to the one the other person bought you but is a different car (different registration number and maker's serial number) or is it the the actual car the other person bought you? The correct form of the sentence will depend on the required meaning. | |
