The same/Same?
In usual, I've used "the same",not just "same" when writing comparing something.
Please look at the following sentences and tell me which are wrong sentences.
[1]Her height is same as mine.
[2]Her height is the same as mine.
[3]Our being tall are the same each other.
[4]Our height are the same one the other.
[5]Our being tall are same.
[6]Our height is same.
Thank you for your answers in advance.

Thank you for your answers,Mr.Philip. Ah~ In any case, it requires "the". Is it okay that "our height are the same" and "our height are the same each other"? Since the noun "height" is one of uncountable nouns, do I say that "our height is the same" and "our height is the same each other"? Thank you for your additional answers in advance.

I'm trying to lead you to constructions that are normal. You can say "our height is the same" or "we are the same height". Leave 'each other' out of the question here.

Thank you so much for your leading me into the way of right English,Mr.Philip. In fact I've used only "the same". But today I've suddenly got to get a thinking why I can't use "same". Because "same" is an adjective so it can definitely connect with "to be" verb as well,like the other adjective such as beautiful.But now I've found the adjective "same" can't be connected with "to be" verbs unlike no
