The is the same pen that/as I lost.
This is the same pen that I lost.
This is the same pen as I lost.
Hi,
I assume both of the above sound right but mean differently.
The first refers to "the very same pen that I lost," while the second "the similar pen, like the one l lost."
Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

Your two sentences may mean the same. One expert says that after "same," you may use "as" or "that" as a relative pronoun: He has the SAME job THAT/AS he had last year. "

Your two sentences may mean the same. One expert says that after "same," you may use "as" or "that" as a relative pronoun: He has the SAME job THAT/AS he had last year. Therefore, your second sentence should be : "I lost a pen like this one" or (more elegantly) "I lost a pen such as this one."
